Nikil Viswanathan, a notable figure in the tech industry, has shared a potential method to significantly boost the performance of Apple computers by using a simple terminal command.
On his social media, Viswanathan explained how typing ''arch'' in the terminal could reveal if a Mac is running applications at reduced efficiency. This comes after Apple transitioned from Intel to ARM-based chips, leading to some computers running Intel applications at slower speeds.
Apple's shift from Intel to its own series of ARM chips, starting with the M1, has been marked by the need for compatibility with older apps, sometimes resulting in speed reductions for users unaware of the underlying architecture their applications are utilizing. Viswanathan's revelation emphasizes that users may benefit from ensuring they are running applications optimized for the newer ARM architecture whenever possible.
Viswanathan’s recent guidance on optimizing Apple hardware aligns with his broader focus on technological efficiency, as highlighted when he showcased AI-driven company transformation during Alchemy Hack Week. His ongoing engagement with advancements in AI and their impact on user experience also reflects perspectives he has brought to debates on AI usage on social media, where he probed ethical considerations and digital autonomy.
