Apple seems to be doing quite well with the M1. Apparently it has a few custom instructions to speed up x86 emulation. They also have the benefit of controlling the software and now also the hardware stack. There's already work in progress to port Linux mainline (and consequently Debian) to the Apple M1 :) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
