Many developers are trying to run Windows 10 system on M1 processor, and the experience after running is also good, and the execution efficiency is very high.

Thanks to the QEMU Virtualized patch shared by Alexander Graf, some developers have tested the performance of this combination on this basis. The results show that the performance of the new Mac equipped with the M1 processor under Windows is significantly ahead of Qualcomm and other competitors. Product.

From the results posted by the developer, taking Geekbench 5 as an example, the native single-core of Apple M1 running macOS/ Multi-core performance is 1737/7549 points, and the same device in Windows 10 running through the QEMU virtualization solution, its single-core/multi-core performance is 1288/5449 points.

As a comparison, the Surface Pro X 2 platform based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon SQ2 chipset has Windows on ARM scores of 799/3089 for single-core and multi-core respectively.

In addition, the x86 version of Geekbench 4 running on the Surface Pro X is divided into single-core 2019/multi-core 6646, while the result under the ARM virtualization system is single-core 2553/multi-core 8719.

Craig Federighi, the former head of Apple’s software engineering, said in an interview with the media a few days ago, Currently, M1 Mac does not support Windows, nor does it look like Intel Mac. With the same Boot Camp function, many people are expecting that M1 Mac can support Windows operating system.

Regarding support for the Windows system, Craig Federighi made it clear that this matter is decided by Microsoft, because the core technology exists and Mac can do it, but Microsoft must decide whether to authorize its ARM-based Windows version to Mac users.
