If an app contains instructions for Intel-based processors, macOS will automatically launch Rosetta and start the translation process. To avoid complications, Apple has introduced an emulator, Rosetta 2, that’s designed to seamlessly run the apps that haven’t yet transitioned to Universal versions. For context, Universal apps are those that carry code for both M1 as well as Intel-based computers. M1-powered MacBook Air and MacBook Pro can run native, universal, and the apps that are designed for Intel chips. Now, in the case of the M1 chip, not all the developers have updated their apps to run natively on the newer Silicon Macs. We know that apps are built to run on specific processors.
In this article, we’ll be mentioning the best apps for M1-powered MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. The M1 chip features an 8-core CPU with four high-performance cores, four high-efficiency cores, an integrated 8-core GPU for smooth graphics performance, and an advanced 16-core Neural Engine that ensures up to 11x faster ML-based processing. Apple has introduced an ARM-based processor- the M1 Chip, which is the first Apple chip designed especially for the Mac. The latest 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air mark Apple’s switch from the Intel processors to its own Silicon chips.
