- p7IDD243 7y agoIf it's fast enough to run triple A video games at an accecptable stable framerate, it should be fast enough to run an IDE.
- simcop2387 7y agoThe key here is GPU passthrough, giving it real graphics hardware means that it's near native (there's still overhead, but it's on the order of 5% compared to completely native).
- zelly 7y agoWorks on my machine. There's virtually no difference between bare metal. Of course you need enough cores and dynamic memory (GPU memory too) to run your host OS and macOS. No benchmarks but it feels snappier than my 2017 MBP.
