How to know if mac platform is macOSx64 or macOSaarch64

Time:07-08

I am trying to download JDK from Amazon Corretto https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-11-ug/downloads-list.html. There are 2 download links for macOS (macOSx64 or macOSaarch64) but I am not sure which one should be downloaded. I am using macOS Monterey Version 12.0.1

CodePudding user response:

If your computer is one of the new M1 or M2 chip computers, then you would use macOSaarch64.

If your computer is an older Intel chip computer, then you would use macOSx64.

You can tell which you have by going to Apple menu and then selecting 'About This Mac' and Look for 'Processor' or 'Chip' in the About This Mac window.

About This Mac

  1. From the Apple icon menu, choose About This Mac.
  2. Look for the item Chip.
  • If that item says M1 or M2, then you have a Mac with Apple Silicon based on the ARM architecture. Download your macOSaarch64 option.
  • If that item says Intel, then you have the x64 chip architecture. Download your macOSx64 option.
