Running x86 code? :)
- ogre_codes 6y agoDepends largely on the code, lots of people show the M1 doing just fine running (translated) x86 code.
- ohazi 6y agoApparently even this is not always the case(!) https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/15/m1-chip-emulating-x86-benchmark/ https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/15/m1-chip-emulating-x86-b...

- userbinator 6y agoDemoscene code in particular... especially demos in the 1K and below (sizecoding) range, which basically amount to very carefully handwritten Asm. I'd expect the x86-to-ARM translation to not do so well in that case, given that it's probably tuned toward typical compiler output.
