I don't see why not.


Universal binary—apps and other executable that run natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers.

or

Every well-behaved Mac Application that works under Big Sur should work on day 1 on Apple-Silicon Macs.


This wonderful trick is due to the Rosetta-2 emulator program, which translates intel machine instructions on-the-fly, and allows them to execute on Apple-Silicon. Translated segments are kept on hand for as long as the Application runs, so most Applications will get faster as they run.


When developers Get around to issuing Apple-silicon native versions they will generally release them as "universal binaries" which contain BOTH Intel-code and Apple-Silicon Code, selected at run-time.

Hi How did you get Rosetta to instal? When i tried to install Microsoft office it asked me if it should install Rosetta but when I click install after a few seconds I get the message this software can't run on this system. I have even tried to run via putty and its refusing any help ill really appreciate the Mac Pro is still rand new and I am in Kenya.
