VMWare Fusion is a popular solution for virtualizing operating systems on Macs. That said… my test MBA (8c, 16GB) is currently running 5 VMs, each with 4 cores and 8GB of RAM and not breaking a sweat… I'm VERY pleased with things… He has been running 5 virtual machines, each with 4 cores and 8GB of RAM, without his M1 MacBook Air (8 cores, 16GB memory) breaking a sweet. Windows 10 for ARM runs faster in Parallels on M1 Mac, than it does natively on Surface Pro X.ĭespite no official announcement, Michael shared a hint of what to expect in terms of performance from VMWare Fusion from M1 Mac. This is why Parallels has already gone ahead and released its update that supports Apple Silicon, and the performance results are amazing. This does not make a lot of sense to us as we all know that Windows 10 for ARM is available as an Insider build that anyone can download and use, without breaking any terms. Windows for ARM is not officially available for customers to purchase, and users might be violating EULA by using it, which is why VMWare has not announced a press release. Michael’s reason for not talking about “future stuff” was to do with legalities. The account is well monitored but Legal has issues with us talking about future stuffs… So we've been largely quiet about it, but we're working through that. Progress update coming soon… Next week probably :)
