    Even as a emulator it is very solid. Name one emulator that is faster. (Rosetta is a translator not an emulator)

      …the difference being? JIT transpilers still count as emulators.

        They really don’t. A emulator is doing all of the hardware in software. A translator is just converting instructions.

          By that definition, qemu-[architecture] is a translator. qemu-system-[architecture] is an emulator.

          And it’s still a worse translator than Rosetta. Because Rosetta cheats.
