Ticket #48252, comment 11
initial v1 1 Lion requires a 64-bit CPU and drops support for PowerPC apps through Rosetta, so this is why Snow Leopard is a huge boundary and Lion isn't. There's basically no difference in hardware requirements from Lion to Mountain Lion.1 Lion requires a 64-bit CPU and drops support for PowerPC apps through Rosetta, so this is why Snow Leopard is a huge boundary and Lion isn't. There's very little difference in hardware requirements from Lion to Mountain Lion - just a few very old models with 32-bit EFI that the latter does not support. 2 2 3 You might bethinking of the fact that Lion still offered a 32-bit *kernel* (for those who still had 32-bit kexts they wanted to run), but it has always required a 64-bit Intel CPU no matter what.3 You might have been thinking of the fact that Lion still offered a 32-bit *kernel* (for those who still had 32-bit kexts they wanted to run), but it has always required a 64-bit Intel CPU no matter what.
