* The New Recompiler is always used on Apple Silicon due to its ARM architecture, even if the Old Recompiler is selected.

Discontinued variants
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These variants are no longer built by Jenkins and can only be :doc:`compiled from source <buildguide>`.
* Debug variants (**86Box-Debug**) as of April 2nd 2023.
* These variants were compiled with debug symbols and reduced optimizations to help with running the emulator under ``gdb`` or other debuggers. They were eliminated as the setup process for debugging grew closer to just compiling from source instead.
* Dev variants (**86Box-Dev** and **86Box-DevODR**) as of November 18th 2021.
* These variants contained incomplete and experimental features subject to change at any time, with the -Dev variant also containing the New Recompiler beta.

* Optimized variants (**86Box-Optimized**) as of March 18th 2021.
* These variants' aggressive microarchitecture-specific optimizations provided very little performance improvement (within margin of error on modern CPUs) while introducing bugs and other incorrect behavior.
* Optimized binaries can still be produced by :doc:`compiling 86Box from source <buildguide>` with the ``--preset=optimized`` CMake flag, which enables optimizations for the build host's CPU microarchitecture. No support will be provided for those.
