As of JDK 27, Oracle engineers will thus stop maintaining the macOS/x64 port

Oracle is deprecating support for Java on macOS/x64 starting with JDK 27, shifting exclusively to Apple's native AArch64 architecture to reduce maintenance costs. This change will impact IT organizations managing Intel-based Mac infrastructure running Java applications, requiring strategic planning for hardware upgrades or migration to supported platforms. Technology leaders should assess their macOS/x64 Java deployment footprint and develop transition timelines before the port is removed in a future JDK release.
