Parallels Desktop 20.2 introduces x86 emulation on Apple Silicon
It’s still an early technological example, but it could have huge implications
Able to run with Linux and Windows 10, it can help Apple make further inroads into the enterprise markets
In 2020, Apple switched from Intel to its ARM-based Silicon, and since then running x86-based software on its hardware has been a challenge.
To help with this, Parallels, the virtual machine (VM) software for Mac users, has now released its latest version, Parallels Desktop 20.2, for public preview, finally bringing x86 emulation to Apple Silicon.
