Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
Summary: Apple silicon VMs differ from Intel Mac VMs due to the use of Virtio drivers, which provide an abstraction layer over I/O devices. This makes creating virtualizer apps more efficient and allows Apple to control hardware and feature support for virtualization. This approach guarantees optimum performance in VMs and offers flexibility for the future of macOS.
