They’re moving to ARM but Intel Macs won’t become obsolete for years. My guess is they’ll be supported for at least five to ten years.

Cool. I’ll probably buy a used one when this one finally dies. It’s amazing really. It’s almost as fast as my fairly new i7 laptop and the screen is stunning. I figure the performance is due to the (at the time) top notch dedicated graphics card and 16 gigs of memory. It was a gift from a former employer and I’m thinking it was at least a $4,000 machine back then.

Yeah, the move from powerpc to intel was with something called rosetta and “universal binaries” which were essentially two separate compiled apps bundled together.

Along comes Rosetta2 again with “universal binaries”. Seems like it was “follow a path we’d already been down.”

Supported, yes, but for those of us who had a late model G5, everything was last and slowest and deprecated much sooner. Not to mention new versions of 3rd party not coming out.

I cannot imagine what Windows Boot Camp performance would be like, if there is any.

They supported the PPC Macs for about 1-2 years and then pretend they never existed. I believe you could go up to 10.5 with them. After that, done.

I expect the same with Intel

Interesting they are switching to their own cpus, good for them.
