Rosetta 2 is Apple's latest iteration of their Rosetta technology, which allows you to run x64 Intel applications on their new arm64 Apple Silicon hardware. Although we believe that x64 Electron apps will run under Rosetta 2, there are some important things to note (and reasons why you should ship a native arm64 binary). * Your app's performance will be significantly degraded. Electron / V8 uses JIT compilation for JavaScript, and due to how Rosetta works, you will effectively be running JIT twice (once in V8 and once in Rosetta). * You lose the benefit of new technology in Apple Silicon, such as the increased memory page size. * Did we mention that the performance will be significantly degraded? https://www.electronjs.org/blog/apple-silicon#what-about-rosetta-2 https://www.electronjs.org/blog/apple-silicon#what-about-ros...
