An emulator is distinct from a virtual machine, which doesn't require. With Windows 10 for ARM, you can then run x86 applications using Microsoft's emulation features. and it works seamlessly and with absurdly good performance on M1-series Macs. Other products may exist for running virtual machines on M1 Macs (like Parallels) but they can only virtualize other ARM-based operating systems, and that includes Windows 10.With Windows 10 for ARM, you can then run x86 applications using Microsoft's emulation features.

A new M1 Mac is basically a super-powerful Raspberry Pi. A new M1 Mac is basically a super-powerful Raspberry Pi. Apple M1 is an ARM-based "system on a chip" platform and is entirely different from not only an x86 CPU but also its entire underlying hardware platform (BIOS, UEFI, etc.).The software actually does very little itself and just sets up and coordinates a lot of activity between the user and their hardware. VirtualBox currently runs on x86-64 hardware and utilizes Intel VT-x) or AMD-V) hardware virtualization technology.
