Windows 10 and some ARM-based Windows 10 apps can perform better when virtualized on Apple’s new M1 Macs than it can when running natively on a native ARM-device like the Surface Pro X. That’s according to a new video posted on YouTube featuring a benchmarking experience. In the tests, Windows 10 on Apple’s new M1 Mac Mini benchmarked with a 1,515 Single-Core score, and a 4,998 Multi-Core score when virtualized. That’s well ahead of what’s recorded natively with the Surface Pro X, which picks up a 764 single-core score, and a 2,983 multi-core score. It’s not the first time we saw these numbers, however, as even when compared with Rosetta 2 natively on MacOS and native Geekbench 5 on Windows 10, Apple’s M1 chip still outperforms the Microsoft SQ1 processor in the Surface Pro X.
