vRam and vCPU requirements seem excessive for Desktop Pro?

    I must be misunderstanding something? I'm looking to run Parallels Desktop Pro on Mac but if you go here https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/buy/?full and click on the 'upgrade' tab it specifies that i needs 128 GB vRAM for each VM and 32 VCPUs! Well my old MacBook pro 2018 Intel only has 16GB of RAM (also helpfully soldered to the motherboard by Apple) and 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 (which i think might be doubled up to 12 virtual) and a GPu: Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB. So I'm really confused about how vRam and vCPU relate to their physical digital twins and whether I've got any chance on running this VM on my Mac? Many thanks
