The Mac transition to Apple silicon was the process of switching the central processing units (CPUs) of Apple's line of Mac computers from Intel's x86-64 processors to Apple-designed Apple silicon ARM64 processors. Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a "two-year transition plan" to Apple silicon on June 22, 2020. [1]
There are two ways to install Rosetta 2 on an Apple silicon Mac: either by using the Terminal to install the program directly, or by trying to open an application compiled for x86-64, which will open an installation window.
macOS Sequoia supports Macs with Apple silicon and those with Intel's Xeon W and 8th-generation Coffee Lake chips or later. A Mac with an M1 chip or later is required to use Apple Intelligence. macOS Sequoia supports every Mac that supports macOS Sonoma, with the exception of the 2018–2019 MacBook Air models with Amber Lake chips.
The MacBook Pro with Apple silicon is a line of Mac notebook computers first introduced in November 2020 by Apple.It is the higher-end model of the MacBook family, sitting above the consumer-focused MacBook Air, and is currently sold with 14-inch and 16-inch screens.
Apple silicon is a series of system on a chip (SoC) and system in a package (SiP) processors designed by Apple Inc., mainly using the ARM architecture.They are the basis of Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, AirPods, AirTag, HomePod, and Apple Vision Pro devices.
As part of the Mac transition to Apple silicon, Apple announced a new Mac Mini with the Apple M1 chip on November 10, 2020. [96] It was released on November 17, 2020, and was one of the first three Apple silicon-based Macs released (alongside the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro). [97] [98]
macOS Sonoma supports Macs with Apple silicon and Intel's Xeon-W and 8th-generation Coffee Lake/Amber Lake chips or later, [25] and drops support for various models released in 2017, officially marking the end of support for Macs without Retina display and the 12-inch MacBook. The 2019 iMac is the only Sonoma-supported Intel Mac that lacks a T2 ...
iBoot is the stage 2 bootloader for iPhones, iPads, Apple silicon-based Macs, and the T2 chip in Intel-based Macs with such a chip. [3] [4] Compared with its predecessor, iBoot improves authentication performed in the boot chain. [2] For Intel-based Macs with a T2 chip, the boot process starts by running code on the T2 chip from the boot ROM.
