In 2005, it switched again to Intel 32-bit and 64-bit x86. In 2011, Mac OS X Lion dropped support for Macs with 32-bit processors; in 2019, macOS Catalina dropped support for 32-bit Intel apps. Supported 64-bit Intel systems can still boot the latest versions of macOS as of January 2025.
AArch64 or ARM64 is the 64-bit Execution state of the ARM architecture family. It was first introduced with the Armv8-A architecture, and has had many extension updates. [ 1 ]

macOS Big Sur is the first release of macOS for Macs powered by Apple-designed ARM64-based processors, a key part of the transition from Intel x86-64-based processors. [19] The chip mentioned in demo videos, and used in the Developer Transition Kit , is the A12Z Bionic .
On June 22, 2020, Apple announced a two-year permanent transition from Intel x86-64-based processors to ARM64-based Apple silicon beginning with macOS Big Sur in late 2020. [9] To aid in this transition, a new Universal 2 binary was introduced to enable applications to be run on either x86-64 -based processors or ARM64-based processors.

Windows - Windows 10 runs 32-bit "x86 and 32-bit ARM applications", [208] as well as native ARM64 desktop apps; [209] [210] Windows 11 runs native ARM64 apps and can also run x86 and x86-64 apps via emulation.
Rhapsody built on NeXTSTEP, porting the core system to the PowerPC architecture and adding a redesigned user interface based on the Platinum user interface from Mac OS 8. An emulation layer called Blue Box allowed Mac OS applications to run within an actual instance of the Mac OS and an integrated Java platform. [1]
