    I contacted Apple to ask them more info about Apple Silicon family capabilities and they replied to me with this statement:

    So, dear Parallels, you have no excuses now to bring both AVX/AVX2 and DirectX12 to Parallels for ARM architecture.

    I tried the free Testversion of parallels and installed win 11 as well. My Video Editing Software is EDIUS X and the system requirement AVX2 support. it would be helpful if there is a plan to include AVX2 support into hypervisor functions. Is the any time schedule ?

    I second AVX support. Perhaps this is possible through the Accelerate framework provided by Apple?

    The problem with this request is it isn't clear to me what Aarch64 ISA instructions you think can be used to emulate AVX, especially since you can't really pick and choose what instructions you support. If you support AVX I'm pretty sure you have to support 8-wide SIMD which Aarch64 does not support.

    Maybe they can support DX12 via Apple's compatibility layer in Sonoma.
