With the new architecture comes incredible performance gains, thermal improvements, and dramatically improved battery life, but poses some unique challenges for virtualization apps like Fusion Pro and Player. With the introduction of Apple silicon, it was revealed that the new CPU line would be based on the same Arm CPU architecture found in an iPhone or on an iPad as opposed to the x86 or x86_64 Intel (or AMD) architectures found on desktops and notebooks. There are challenges there which will require Apple to work with us to resolve. macOS VMs are not in scope in the short term.Insider builds of Windows 10 ARM may only be installed on systems with a licensed version of Windows 10, which is currently not available on Apple hardware.Microsoft currently does not sell licenses of Windows 10 ARM for virtual machines.Windows is second priority behind Linux.We don’t plan to support installing or running x86 VMs on Macs with Apple silicon.Development is moving along very well, meeting or exceeding our expectations, but there are challenges and much work still to do.We will be delivering a Tech Preview of VMware Fusion for macOS on Apple silicon this year.The quick readīefore we get right into it, I just want to summarize our position way up front with a quick tl dr: Flame: Flame Family 2021.1.It’s been a few months since our informal announcement via Twitter back in November where we committed to delivering VMware VMs on Apple silicon devices, so we wanted to take this opportunity to share a bit about how our progress with our little project to bring Fusion to life on Apple silicon Macs this year.Fusion 360: Running Fusion 360 with Rosetta 2 on Apple ARM-based M1 Chipsets.Maya: System Requirements for Autodesk Maya 2020.AutoCAD: System Requirements for AutoCAD 2021.The new offerings look very promising!' - Katrin Grunawalt, Autodesk Fusion 360 software architect Fusion 360 is a technically sophisticated design and manufacturing application nonetheless parametric model computation and 3D rendering are surprisingly fast on Big Sur running on Apple Silicon. 'It was effortless to install and run Autodesk Fusion 360 in Rosetta 2. See the product-specific links below for more information about your Autodesk product. While this is happening, your Autodesk software may run with Apple's Rosetta 2 technology on an M1-based system, but some Autodesk macOS software may only run on Intel-based hardware.

New macOS systems with the M1-chip are designed to work with macOS Big Sur 11.0 operating system.Ĭurrently, we're working closely with Apple to optimize Autodesk software to work with Apple silicon. Apple recently announced the M1 chip, the first in-house chip designed specifically for Mac (November 2020).
