However, this brings us to the biggest drawback of all for Parallels Desktop 16.5 for Mac. Many popular Windows-based games aren’t available for the Mac, and while you can use the Intel-based version of Parallels to run many of them, it’s usually not the best experience. That last bullet point may get gamers’ hearts beating faster. DirectX 11 is 60% better on Windows 10 for ARM64 on an M1-based Mac, compared to an Intel-based MacBook Pro that has a Radeon Pro 555X graphics processor.Virtual machine performance is improved, up to 30 percent faster when a Windows 10 for ARM64 virtual machine is running on an M1-based Mac compared to Windows 10 running on a MacBook Air with an Intel Core i9 chip.This is great news for users of portable Macs, as running Windows historically has been a significant drain on battery life. The greater efficiency of the M1 chip means Parallels Desktop for Mac users 2.5 times less energy than on a 2020 Intel MacBook Air.Make sure you drop us a line in the comments to tell us how you feel about this.The muscle and energy-stingy features of Apple’s M1 processor gives a boost to Parallels, according to the company: The bottom line is that the MacBook Air 2020’s screen on macOS is still extremely bright but if you use it with Windows 10, you will have a boost of brightness which is not bad at all, right? The panel of the MacBook Air can go way higher in brightness levels, but Apple wants to keep the distance to the more expensive MacBook Pro 13.It is possible that Apple can only ensure better results at lower brightness levels. The color accuracy is a bit worse when you use Windows, even after calibration, but you cannot see the differences with the naked eye.Not all the panels reach the same maximum brightness, so the panel manufacturer could have leveled up the brightness of the panels to deliver comparable products to the customer.They also listed a couple of other possibilities: It’s possible that Apple limited the brightness on macOS from the start just to maintain color accuracy. The guys from found that the screen was less color accurate on Windows 10.
Precisely, the value for macOS was at 415 cd/m², and the one for Windows reached 547 cd/m². While they expected a value of little more than 400 nits in macOS, their benchmarking software showed almost 550 nits for Windows 10 (BootCamp). When they measured the screen brightness to adjust the battery benchmark, they found that the screen was 32% brighter. They were benchmarking the laptop and had to switch the MacBook Air to Windows 10 to run some tests.
