Apple Switching Macs to Its Own Processors — In the opening session of this year’s online-only WWDC, Apple revealed that they’re dropping x86 and moving to their own ARM-based silicon starting later this year. In other WWDC news, macOS 11 Big Sur was announced which means the true end of OS X and a new design language. Even if you're not interested in the Mac space at all, this development could shake things up a lot, right down to how different languages approach ARM as a key compilation target.
