Goodbye, Intel! macOS 27 Golden Gate Is Exclusive To Apple Silicon Macs

Apple officially introduced macOS 27 Golden Gate at WWDC26, focusing on artificial intelligence and performance enhancements. The new operating system entirely drops support for Intel-based Macs, restricting updates exclusively to Apple Silicon devices to optimize stability and battery consumption. Meanwhile, developer beta users can utilize a specific Terminal command workaround to bypass the Siri AI waitlist, granting immediate access to the new virtual assistant on test machines without needing to reverse the process later.
