[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1856509, member: 204485"] Brings back memories to see Rosetta mentioned again in these forums. 2006 was when Apple introduced Rosetta to facilitate the move from Power PC to Intel, now we have a transition from Intel to ARM, the same architecture as your iOS devices. Rosetta 2 is an emulator built in to the soon to be released macOS Big Sur that will enable Intel based applications to run with Apple's new silicon ARM64 processor chip. “Rosetta 2 is mostly there to minimize the impact on end-users and their experience when they buy a new Mac with Apple Silicon,” says Angela Yu, founder of the software-development school App Brewery. “If Rosetta 2 does its job, your average user should not notice its existence.” I will be interested to see if that last sentence holds true. Suffice to say I wont be upgrading my hardware any time soon (I hope). As with new macOSs I'd prefer to have someone else work out the bugs before I dip my toes in the water with my primary device. Here is the article from The Verge explaining the whole thing. [URL]https://www.theverge.com/21304182/apple-arm-mac-rosetta-2-emulation-app-converter-explainer[/URL] [/QUOTE]
