Microsoft had an AoT x86->ARM (and now, amd64->aarch64) binary translation layer before Apple's Rosetta had that capability (at least, publicly).
- jacooper 3y agoYes but it's still terrible with a much bigger performance loss than rosseta, partially because the M chips have some tricks for better emulation.
- deaddodo 3y agoThe performance is actually much better than most people from that skillset originally expected, and it generally gets better performance from arbitrary code paths/machine logic than Rosetta does. Rosetta outperforms it because of hardware assistance, not because Microsoft's implementation is bad (let alone "terrible").
