Parallels Desktop 16.5 Runs Arm Windows 10 on M1 Mac 30% Faster
2 days ago
Parallels has released the latest version of Parallels Desktop, boasting up to 30% faster performance running Arm Windows 10 on M1 Macs.
Parallels is one of the premier virtualization programs for the Mac. It has been a mainstay for Mac users looking to run Windows on Intel-based Macs for years. With Apple’s transition to its custom silicon, virtualization was one of the few types of software that didn’t automatically work in Rosetta 2, Apple’s translation layer that allows Intel-based software to run on the new machines.
Fortunately, Parallels has updated its software to fully support the M1, as well as the older Intel machines. When running Windows 10 on Intel machines, Parallels offers native speeds, comparable to what would be achieved on a dedicated Wintel machine.

Anyone looking for a way to run Windows 10 on a new Mac with Apple Silicon now has an easy, reliable option. Parallels just released a new version of its virtual desktop tool, Desktop 16.5, that supports Windows 10 on M1 Macs.
Parellels brought over many of the popular features from its previous Intel-based version of Desktop, including Coherence Mode, which lets users run Windows applications as if they were native to the Mac without switching between desktops or rebooting their entire system. Users can also easily share files locally to the Windows 10 virtual machine, customise MacBook touch bar controls to launch Windows apps, and do a bunch of other things that were included with Desktop 16.

You now have a reliable and quick way to run Windows 10 on an M1-based Mac provided you re willing to make some tradeoffs. Parallels has released Desktop 16.5 for Mac with full support for M1 Macs, promising native speeds for the virtual machine when you re running Windows 10 ARM Insider Preview. You can run Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora, too.
In some cases, the M1 could perform better than a theoretically more powerful Intel-native setup. Parallels claims you ll get up to 60 percent better DirectX 11 performance on an M1 Mac than you would an Intel-based MacBook Pro with a Radeon Pro 555X GPU, and 30 percent better virtual machine performance compared to an even higher-specced Intel MacBook Pro. The company even says power consumption on an M1 MacBook Air should improve by 250 percent, although it s comparing that to a 2019 MacBook Air (as its footnotes indicate) and not the last Intel model.
