ARM64

ARM64 is the 64-bit Arm architecture used by processors such as Apple Silicon and AWS Graviton. Native ARM64 executables require compatible operating-system interfaces as well as the correct processor instruction set.

Also known as: AArch64, arm64 architecture

Why it matters

Native Arm execution avoids translation overhead but requires compatible toolchains and packages.

Practical example

Build native dependencies on an ARM64 runner when shipping a Linux ARM64 application.
