There seems to be a lot of people just assuming that ARM macs won’t be able to run x86 virtual machines. It’s a reasonable assumption, but since they’re designing the chips themselves, and it’s highly likely that they’ll do a Rosetta-like translation system to maintain backward compatibility, it seems almost inevitable that they’ll have some built in hardware for x86 virtualization. Maybe not as fast as native x86, but might not be far from it. The only problem is it might take quite a while for software like Virtualbox to be compatible with it, if Apple even makes the instructions or APIs publicly available
