If you are asking for advice on games or your system, post the specs of your Mac such as model name, CPU, and GPU. Before asking for help, or installing a game, please visit r/macgaming/wiki/catalina, and check both the compatibility test chart provided by our community and the list of unsupported 32-bit Mac games by Mac Gamer HQ. Please make use of the search and read the FAQ before asking questions, many have been answered already and it will save you time!Ĭan my Mac run it? The MacGameStore App, or Mac Gamer HQ's extensive list of performance results and benchmarks are good ways to check if your Mac will run a certain game.Ĭan macOS Catalina run it? Games that are 32-bit only will no longer run on macOS Catalina. Therefore, this may be a clue that a version of the Parallels desktop for the M1 is incoming after all.The home for gaming on Mac machines! Here you will find resources, information, and a great community of gamers. In addition, Tron has posted just one listing for a device under these new apparent M1-on-WoA conditions, whereas there are in fact nearly 6 whole pages of identical results, all showing the same specs (with similar Pro X-beating results) and submitted on the same day (December 18, 2020). Then again, this may just be down to Geekbench's inability to detect an M1 on Parallels for what it really is. This suspicious detriment to the leak's veracity does not get any better in the face of other alleged M1 machines running Windows 10 that show up with a "Virtual CPU" and at least have a more accurate 8 cores. On the other hand, the former is actually listed as having an Intel Pentium platform - with an anomalous 6-processor set-up clocked at 1GHz to boot. Surprisingly, the "Parallels M1 Mac" (or " Parallels Parallels ARM Virtual Machine", as it is titled on Geekbench) achieved roughly double the single- and multi-core scores of the Pro X while apparently running Windows 10 Pro's Insider Preview. This, then, would pit a Microsoft SQ2-based device running WoA by default against one resorting to virtualization for the same. It comes from the tipster on Twitter, who has compared Geekbench 5 scores for a Surface Pro X with others that, as it is claimed, were posted by an " Apple M1 Mac" running Parallels.

Now, there is a preliminary hint that they may have succeeded. An earlier report indicated that the group behind Parallels was working on compatibility for their virtualization software with this new SoC. However, they may not apply to those who like to run Windows on their Macs.

The M1 is an ARM-based in-house chipset that, as such, comes with several advantages for the Apple software ecosystem. German-English-Translator - Details here (English native speakers preferred) News Writer (AUS/NZL based) - Details here
