That line just means you can’t run an emulator on top of an emulator, which makes sense. Performance would suck.
What will happen instead is that companies like VMware will release emulators that run natively on Apple chips. (Rather than trying to run on top of Rosetta.) However, Intel Windows performance might still suck in those. Remains to be seen.
- qalmakka 6y agoMaybe with this growing interest in ARM desktops someone could consider continuing that project that was going around a few years ago of integrating QEMU and WINE. Some old x86 Win32 apps would probably run fine under, like they do on Microsoft's emulator.

This has happened before e.g. Microsoft's VirtualPC [0]. > However, Intel Windows performance might still suck in those Bingo. I remember how agonisingly slow VirtualPC was for anything remotely useful (forget gaming).
