Several comments mentioned Apple M1 doesn't need to support legacy, but Rosetta 2's support for amd64(yes I choose this term over x86-64) is beyond great, and I looked into that specifically a while ago, some mention Apple had something designed specifically for amd64 emulation, So I'm against that point.

amd64 is the correct term. It's amd's instruction set; they were the first to do it. The BSDs call it amd64, it's only Linux being the odd duck calling it x86_64
