Apple likely will have a big incentive to try to get the perf of their processors up to comparable levels with Intel as soon as possible. They will compare native ARM64 apps like Photoshop, chrome, etc to the same apps on Intel chips, but I wonder what will be their marketing / explanation for the difference running apps using Rosetta -- like if a particular app that is quite difficult to transition to ARM64 runs quite poorly, do they just say "well its a really hard problem, so please give us some credit for it?" Like it would seem like Apple would want to figure out a way to make the translation code be multicore, so you could take something that thinks its running on a single core and this translation layer would split it up to multicore and then Apple would just add more cores to make the translation layer fast enough. Anybody have any clue if thats possible?
