> If bloated code runs fast on an M1, imagine how native code performs?
As an example, Minecraft on the 16GB M1 Pro running under Rosetta 2 runs much better (near-constant 60fps with everything on default, no fans, imperceptible heat) than on the 32GB i9 Pro (peaks about 40fps with everything turned down, full fans, will burn you unless you disable Turbo Boost).
I'm looking forward to a native JVM and seeing if it gets even better.

- selectodude 6y agoI'm pretty sure it just calls Java. Whichever interpreter pops up it'll use.
