Apple Silicon, better known as the company's own 'M1' processor, is a game-changer. The new Mac computers (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini) powered by this new ARM-based processor have been very well received by critics and consumers alike.
I was personally fascinated by this new CPU, so I recently purchased my own 2020 Mac mini. Guess what, folks? The hype is real. The performance is exceptional while the fan almost never kicks in. It is a silent and powerful computing experience. Not to mention, the new Mac mini is quite affordable, but I digress.
Apple Silicon isn't just brilliant with native software designed for it, but when running emulated x86_64 software via Rosetta 2 as well. It is such a seamless experience, that you often don't even realize when apps aren't native to ARM.
For the best performance, however, we will need developers to compile their apps for Apple Silicon. Microsoft has already done so with Office 365, which is very much appreciated.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Get it for PowerPC or 32bit Intel. Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later is required. Get it for PowerPC or Intel. Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. QuickTime 6.5.2 or later is required. Get it for PowerPC. Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
Unfortunately, one app that I, and many others, depend on was not yet optimized for Apple's M1 processor -- VLC. While the popular media player app ran fine in emulation, many people -- including me -- have been clamoring for a version of VLC that would be optimized for Apple Silicon.

- VLC on Apple Silicon. I just saw that VLC is supported for Apple Silicon so I went ahead and downloaded it from the main site. It's odd because usually there's a separate installer for the new Mac ARM chips for these new softwares but I assumed that it would automatically detect which processor it's running on (just naturally lazy like that).
- VLC for Windows 8 is a powerful and portable media player and streaming media server. The VLC media player, often known simply as VLC, is developed by VideoLAN and was first released in 2001. Since the beginning, VLC has been free, cross platform and open source, and the developers have strived to support the full range of multim.
Thankfully, today, VLC finally gets a true Apple Silicon version. Beginning with VLC 3.0.12.1, it will no longer be emulated through Rosetta 2. If you want to try it for yourself, you can download it here now. The changelog is found here.
If you do run it on an M1 Mac, I ask you to please share your experience with me in the comments below. Specifically, do you notice any difference between this new native version and the previous variant that used Rosetta 2 emulation?
