Apple's macOS Golden Gate drops Intel, boosts AI features

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple has released the first developer beta of macOS 27, codenamed Golden Gate, which marks a significant shift as it exclusively supports Apple silicon Macs. While all Apple silicon models are supported, advanced on-chip AI features will be limited to M3 and newer chips with at least 12GB of memory. The update also introduces new semantic indexing for Spotlight, enhancements to Safari, and deprecates support for encrypted HFS+ volumes, while confirming the eventual removal of Rosetta for Intel code translation in a future version.
