What are the penalties in real-world use for running your code on Icestorm cores, using around 10% of the power used by Firestorms?

Recovering from one regular panic should be straightforward. But what if it’s a boot loop, in which your Mac tries to start up, panics, restarts, in an endless loop? Don’t panic: here are the solutions.
The cores in the M1 and the chip itself are thoroughly Apple designs, and work hand-in-glove with macOS using techniques like out-of-order execution and hints to optimise performance.
On Intel Macs, resetting the SMC was a universal panacea until the T2 came along. What can we do instead with an M1 Mac?
Complete step-by-step instructions for installing a new copy of macOS to an external disk, making it bootable. For Intel and M1 Macs of all flavours.
Memory, support for multiple external displays, bootable external disks, macOS updates, kernel panics, more ports, and more choice of macOS to install are on my list.
Summary and links for the latest information about what’s in the current M1 chip, from differences in caches between cores, to the Matrix Coprocessor and Fabric limitations.
How ARM64 uses its special SIMD registers in lanes, and how they can be loaded with and without de-interleaving.
If you want to be able to run versions of Big Sur on your M1 Mac after upgrading to Monterey, now’s the time to start preparing.
Why would you want to go to the lengths of erasing your startup disk and installing a macOS upgrade clean? Here’s why, and how to do it.
