Interesting question. There are still plenty of Intel-based Macs available that will be able to run this new version of macOS.
But I think this is aimed at people building stuff in php, python, and other languages that are not CPU-dependent. Otherwise it would just be competing with Parallels, right? As an aside, I hear Parallels running X86 apps using Rosetta on an M-series CPU isn’t very fast. I wonder how it will compare to this new approach running on an Intel-based Mac MIni or MBP? There were MBPs that shipped with i9’s in them; the Mac Minis maxed-out at 4-core i7’s. My 2018 Mac MIni (i7) is fast enough for my needs, but it’s having heat problems, and slows down as it gets hotter. I’m thinking of replacing it. -David Schwartz > On Jun 11, 2025, at 8:28 PM, James Dugger <james.dug...@gmail.com > <mailto:james.dug...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Yeah, I heard about that.
