Both the iMac and M1 chips are Apple products, but the M1 chip is the first self-developed chip designed by Apple itself, which uses an advanced 5nm process and has strong performance and energy efficiency advantages. By contrast, traditional imAcs use Intel chips. The M1 chips excel in processor performance, graphics performance and machine learning, while also featuring low power consumption and long battery life. Therefore, from the perspective of performance and future development, the M1 chip is more excellent and is a better choice.
