![]() That is another layer.Example you want to run Visio 2019, the Win32/64 app on your Macbook Pro M1 laptop. Now you are running Windows on ARM that wants to see a Qualcom ARM based chip….can the M1 answer all of those calls? Possibly but we all know that the M1 is a custom ARM chips so maybe some of those calls have to be emulated through the Paralles Hypervisor? Which is another layer.Lastly, if a Win32 App is running on the Windows on ARM, there is emulation going on right there….and that is on a native Windows on ARM hardware. Just the Hypervisor gets in your way there slowing things down a bit as it becomes a traffic cop. ![]() This is not x86/64 where a VM of say Windows is expecting x86/64 hardware and gets some good old Intel x86/64 hardware on a Intel Mac. Windows on ARM will have to run through the Paralells Hypervisor to access the hardware so you will have a performance hit right there. Paralells is a Hypervisor, a native M series hypervisor so it will not need Rosetta. Rosetta 1 years ago was software only….and it was not speedy at all.I doubt very much that tech supports Windows on ARM calls to the M based mac hardware. They specifically added tech to the chip so that Mac software written for Intel Mac’s runs at or near native speed on the ARM based M1. Rosetta 2 is part software and part M series chip. The Mini is silent and cold to the touch in my room.However we are talking emulation inside of emulation. I am typing this on my M1 Mac Mini, with 16gigs of RAM and a 1TB hd. For now, you can learn more about this new version from the Parallels website. ![]() I’m away for the next few weeks, but I’ll be looking at Parallels Desktop 17 on an M1-based Mac when I return. (Over 80 percent of Parallels Desktop users use Coherence mode to run Windows apps side-by-side with Mac apps on the Mac desktop.) Other key advancements in this release include dramatic performance improvements-for example, up to 38 percent faster resume with Windows virtual machines (VMs) and up to 28 percent faster DirectX 11 performance-an enhanced Windows gaming experience driver, integration between Windows client and Mac host power status, the ability to drag and drop content between Windows and Mac apps, and some Coherence improvements, including windowed (as opposed to full screen) update and shutdown screens. You can learn more about running Windows 11 on a Mac using Parallels Desktop 17 here. More important, perhaps, to Windows fans, Parallels Desktop 17 will also officially support Windows 11 and, with that support, 64-bit Windows apps, a key advance for the platform. ![]()
