Virtualization is always slow. I bet Linux cannot run on it either.

WWDC demonstrated Linux/Parallels on the M1.

This a big NO to me. Seems I've to keep away from Macbook and instead stick to Surface Laptop (IMO, the 2nd best laptop) for years.

Interesting. See https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-m1-speed-tests-new-arm-macbook-air-blows-away-intel-based-macbook-pro/ . Surface Pro X uses Microsoft/Qualcomm's ARM SQ2.

Wish this CPU die soon. So people can switch back. LOL

That seems very unlikely. 😜

Apple's approach seems to be to lay the foundation, and provide developer tools and let the user community decide the future of the ARM initiative.


Apple, unlike, Microsoft, has been successful transitioning from PowerPC -> Intel -> ARM M1. The M1 success is TBD, though. Perhaps Intel can develop it's own versions of ARM CPU/GPUs.
