![]() ![]() What is Apple Silicon/Apple M1 Chip? What is Big Sur? What is Rosetta 2?Īpple announced earlier this year that they were going to transition their entire Mac line from Intel processors to their own ARM64 “ Apple Silicon” chip, dubbed the M1. (The intel architecture is typically labeled AMD64 apparently after another manufacturer of the AMD64 chips, AMD.)Ĭurrent versions of many devices already use ARM chips, including almost all Apple devices besides the Mac, Microsoft’s Surface Pro X, the Raspberry Pi, Pinebook Pro, and many others. ARM64 means ARM with 64-bit chips (there are also loads of ARM32 chips out there in the world). “ARM” stands for “Advanced RISC Machine” and “RISC” stands for “Reduced Instruction Set Computer.” The Intel architecture we’ve all used so long has been dubbed “CISC” or Complex Instruction Set Computer.” ARM seems to be the future. Most software, including DDEV-Local, our DDEV-Live hosting platform, cloud VMs, the most popular Docker images, and many upstream projects have traditionally assumed AMD64 hardware, and ARM64 versions were not always available. The majority of Windows, Mac, and Linux computers to date have used the Intel CPU architecture, or AMD64. When will DDEV-Local work on Apple Silicon?. ![]() ![]() DDEV-Local Already Runs On ARM64 in Linux and WSL2.What is Apple Silicon/Apple M1 Chip? What is Big Sur? What is Rosetta 2?.In this blog, we’ll take a look at these things: Although the Apple news and benchmarks are exciting, ARM is not new, lots of devices already use it, and our open source DDEV-Local development environment already supports it on Linux and WSL2. Update : An Apple Silicon M1 pre-release of DDEV-Local is now available in DDEV releases ! There is information there on how to get the latest prerelease for Docker Desktop for Mac on M1.ĪRM64 is the new word of the day all over the place since Apple has switched their hardware platform to “Apple Silicon,” which is on the ARM64 platform. ![]()
