The recent Snapdragon chips have been awesome, but that's not Apple's magic, it's their x86 to ARM translation layer

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

It's not just the translation layer. There's hardware built into the CPU to accelerate the translation.

Pair that with the CPUs already being so incredibly efficient and you've got something that runs x86 programs as good as the old hardware.

And the fact that they have silicon space dedicated to accelerating that translation layer specifically.

Good software and good hardware married to make a kickass move to ARM.
