ARM is a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) architecture that was specifically designed for efficiency with portable devices. It is an understatement to say that Apple dropped a bomb on the PC industry with the M1 ARM processor.
These builds are available immediately and natively support both macOS M1 and Intel macOS devices.
