The Apple Silicon processor designated as the "M1" is built into new Macs at the time of manufacture. It cannot be retrofitted to any Intel Mac because it requires a totally different logic board.

How can I insert M1 chip into my Mac? Hello! I had ordered my Macbook Air 2020 model and recently got to know that the M1 chip wasn't planted into this. I need a variety of apps which is only compatible with the M1 chip. Can the M1 chip be planted onto my Macbook or can any other device like Mac mini could be used to acquire its benefits?
