Microsoft's own tablet only turned in 799 and 3,089, respectively. Apple silicon scored 1,288 in single-core tests and 5,685 in multi-core on GB5. Indeed, another curious developer tweeted Geekbench 4 and 5 scores comparing Windows 10 on an M1 computer compared with a Surface Pro X. Running the Windows ARM64 Insider Preview virtualized through amework. Who said Windows wouldn't run well on #AppleSilicon? It's pretty snappy here ðÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ. Amazon Web Services principal engineer Alexander Graf recently tested Windows 10 on an M1 processor using QEMU virtualization and found that it runs "pretty snappy." But how would the Arm version of Windows run on Apple's new M1 silicon?Īs it turns out, it runs very well. Windows 10 on Arm is only available pre-installed on Surface devices or from OEM partners like HP, Asus, and Lenovo. When Microsoft introduced its new Surface Pro X, it also launched a fork of Windows 10 exclusively for use on the tablet's Arm-based processor. However, if Microsoft ever does release it to the public, it will reportedly run better than it does on the Surface Pro X. The standard x86 version of Windows is not compatible with the Arm architecture, and the Arm-based Windows 10 that Microsoft installs on the Surface Pro X is not available commercially. In context: If you need to run Windows on that shiny new Mac M1, there is no easy way to do it anymore.
