At the WWDC 2020 developer conference, Apple revealed for the first time a fairly major change — Macs will switch from Intel processors to Apple’s Silicon chipsets. From this, the giant promised only benefits, especially in terms of performance and energy efficiency.

Given that this is a fairly major change, there have also been widespread concerns about whether Apple is heading in the right direction. After all, it was going for a complete architectural change with huge challenges.

Users were most concerned about (backward) compatibility. Changing the architecture required a complete redesign and optimization of the software. Applications programmed for Macs with Intel CPUs can’t just run on a Mac with Apple Silicon.

Fortunately, the Cupertino giant has also looked at this and dusted off the Rosetta solution, which is used to translate applications from one platform to another.
