The first Mac, introduced in 1984, was the original Macintosh, which was based on the Motorola 68000 architecture. Apple evaluated several possibilities for different processors in the early 1990s, switching in 1994 to the PowerPC family that was co-developed by Apple, IBM, and Motorola. In 2005, it switched again to Intel 32-bit and 64-bit x86.
Darwin currently includes support for the 64-bit x86-64 variant of the Intel x86 processors used in Intel-based Macs and the 64-bit ARM processors used in the iPhone 5S and later, the 6th generation iPod Touch, the 5th generation iPad and later, the iPad Air family, the iPad Mini 2 and later, the iPad Pro family, the fourth generation and later ...
One of the key reasons why Rosetta 2 provides such a high level of translation efficiency is the support of x86-64 memory ordering in the Apple M1 SOC. [14] The SOC also has dedicated instructions for computing x86 flags. [15] Although Rosetta 2 works for most software, some software does not work at all [16] or is reported to be "sluggish". [17]
