[CNMO News] Apple has set a slogan for iPad Pro, "Why is your next computer," the subtext is that the productivity of iPad Pro can fully meet the requirements of most people. However, the reality is that after iPad OS is "independent", it has been maintained in a state of being high or low, which seems a bit embarrassing. However, currently, some bloggers have successfully run Windows 10 using the iPad Pro with M1 chip . And the performance is also excellent, which makes the iPad Pro a real productivity tool possible.
It should be noted that the blogger did not jailbreak or modify it on the underlying boot program, but was completed through the virtual machine software "UTM". Currently, this virtual machine software can be used on iOS and iPad OS . After successfully running Windows 10, the blogger also used GeekBench to conduct running score tests. In the virtual machine environment, the single-core score of the M1 chip iPad Pro is 1522 points and the multi-core score is 5073 points. It is somewhat surprising that
gets such a score in a virtual machine environment. Compared with the running scores in the native iPad OS environment, the single-core score of the M1 chip in the virtual machine reaches 90% of the scores under the native system, and the multi-core score is Also 70%. This also means that some simple tasks can be easily completed in a virtual machine environment.
It is worth mentioning that in a virtual machine environment, users can use external keyboard and mouse, touchpad, Apple Pencil and other external controllers, allowing users to get close to conventional Windows systems in terms of user experience. After Mac products use Apple Siilicon chips, Mac users cannot directly install Windows, and virtual machines have become the choice of many people at this time. After the optimization is in place, I believe that the ARM architecture can also have an excellent Windows experience under the virtual machines.
