The new Macs will use arm64, the same CPU architecture that recent iOS devices use (Intel-based Macs use an architecture called x86-64). But it also means that apps that were developed for Intel’s architecture originally won’t run natively on Apple’s upcoming hardware. But there are a couple reasons to be optimistic.
