Virtualization is important for developers because it is ideal for testing and debugging applications in an isolated environment. Rosetta 2 is a translation layer that enables x86 applications to run on macOS, but while it works well for many macOS applications, the M1 is not good for running x86 virtual machines. There are some snags with the move away from Intel though. Windows on Arm running on M1 Mac via UTM (qemu) Apple M1 machines can be good value despite the premium price if they save developers time, and the combination of excellent performance and high efficiency – leading to long battery life for those on a laptop – is a strong attraction.Ī high-end Mac Studio running the M1 Ultra chip has a maximum power consumption of 215W, according to Apple’s specs – modest for a system that is among the best-performing workstations out there.
In November 2020 Apple introduced the M1 processor – an Arm-based chip marking the beginning of the transition from Intel CPUs to Apple Silicon.
