Line 33:
Apple continued selling some 68k-based Macs into 1996 but ended production of new 68k models by mid‑1996 with the discontinuation of the [[PowerBook 190]]. The Mac system software continued supporting 68k through [[Mac OS 8.1]] (released in January 1998); [[Mac OS 8.5]] (October 1998) dropped 68k support entirely and required a PowerPC processor.
The PowerPC transition restored Apple’s performance competitiveness, especially in multimedia and graphics-intensive markets.<ref name="macworld"/> The successful use of emulation and fat binaries influenced two later Apple transitions: [[Mac transition to Intel processors|to Intel x86 in 2006]] and [[Mac transition to Apple silicon|to Apple silicon (ARM) in 2020]].
