Universal Binaries, Rosetta, Intel CPUs
Apple has updated their pages concerning Universal Binaries, Rosetta, and Intel CPUs:
Apple’s Rosetta page
Apple’s Intel CPU page
Apple’s Universal Binary page
We also have a small page concerning Universal Binaries here. As of yet, few Mac genealogy applications are compiled as Universal Binaries (MacFamilyTree being one), as far as I know, most Mac genealogy developers are going to work on Intel-compatible/Universal Binary versions of their software, although with Rosetta, they have plenty of time. After all, even if a PowerPC-based application under OS X on Intel runs 25% slower than on a PowerPC-based Mac, considering the new iMac is twice as fast as the old, and the MacBook Pro is upto 4 times as fast…well I don’t think we need to worry about performance problems 🙂
