– and for this reason, it is faster and more efficient. thus cutting out all the new machines equipped with Apple Silicon chips.Īlso, keep in mind – for performance and problems – that virtualization is different from emulation, where the latter reconstructs the hardware elements via software, while virtualization has direct access to some hardware components – such as the processor, the GPU, the memory. The problem is that the situation has become complicated since Apple switched to Intel processors and these software pieces are struggling to arrive or perform.Īpple has developed a software, BootCamp, which allows the installation of Windows or other OS on Mac alongside macOS, but the use of these requires a restart, a really uncomfortable situation and which remains confined to Macs equipped with Intel processors. Let’s start with some clarifications: Apple and macOS do not have a proprietary virtualization system open to users – unlike Microsoft which has, for example, Hyper-V – but they open the platform to third-party software. VirtualBox 7.0 is available for hosts on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Intel-based Macs, and, as noted, with heavily flagged early-stage support for ARM-based Macs.ARM virtualization and x86 emulation on the new Apple Silicon M1 CPU chips

Better theme integration on Mac and Linux systems, with updated Qt/UI looks and fixes.

Virtual IOMMU devices for Intel and AMD.

Vorbis is the default audio format for recording with WebM containers.

Wizard tool integrates unattended guest installations.

A performance monitoring tool for guests.

This provides some parity with Windows hosts, which receive standard DirectX 11 support in this 7.0 release.Īmong other improvements to this version:

Perhaps most interesting for Linux hosts is support for DXVK, the Vulkan-based implementation of DirectX layers that allows for running 3D Windows applications in Wine.

Linux hosts receive "reworked" screen resizing, along with "initial support" for automatic updating of the Guest Additions inside Linux guests. For the moment, though, that means they've lost internal networking functions Oracle says it will be "provided at a later date." You will, however, be able to run ARM-based Linux installations in macOS Venture that can themselves run x86 processors using Rosetta, Apple's own translation layer.īeyond that bright caution signage, Mac clients, on both Intel and ARM, have now dropped all Kernel extensions, relying entirely on Apple's hypervisor and vmnet frameworks for their function.

It's still true that ARM-based Macs don't allow for running operating systems written for Intel or AMD-based processors inside virtual machines.
