🎭 Alois was a German actor and playwright who invented #lithography in 1796. He accidentally discovered that he could make duplicates of his scripts by writing them in greasy crayon on slabs of limestone and printing them with rolled-on ink – a technique he dubbed 'lithography'.
📸 Photolithography, that is at the heart of semiconductor production, was only invented in 1952 though.
The M3 chips are the first personal computer chips built using the industry-leading 3-nanometer process technology, allowing more transistors to be packed into a smaller space and improving speed and efficiency.
Together, these cores create a CPU that delivers the same multithreaded performance as M1 using as little as half the power, and up to 35 percent more performance at peak power
