On M1 my native JVM bechmarks have been quite good... Rosetta about 30% slower than the intel MBP though 😞 https://nequalsonelifestyle.com/2020/11/24/apple-silicon-benchmarks-pt7-renaissance/

Apple M1 is special build of jdk for ARM?

Yeah Azul Systems has a version of OpenJDK natively built for M1 now.

Did you test liberica jdk on macbook pro? https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/

@Egor Babarykin actually never heard of them before. I never heard of Azul either before this whole M1 benchmark experience :).

Liberica jdk is optimized for ARM

I'm not seeing a Mac ARM package listed yet on their download page...

is Linux running on M1?

People have it and Windows running in QEMU. There is at least one project to get Linux working on bare metal though: https://www.patreon.com/marcan

yeah no I mean bare-metal, the only reason I would buy one of those M1 machines is if I can run linux on it
