The new Apple Silicon CPU's are ARM based and are not going to support Revit and Bluebeam any time soon.

Worth adding that this info relates to Intel Macs only. It's very important to distinguish between Virtualization (Good!) and Emulation (Bad!). They will get it sorted, but they are way behind the curve. Microsoft also uses it to run X64 apps in Windows for ARM and it's awful.

Apple does this incredibly well with Rosetta2 to run Intel apps on the Apple Silicon. I also have employees that work in Cad type apps by running AutoCad, AGI32 (lighting modeling software) and Revit in VM's hosted on our ESXi server via remote desktop and it works very well.Įmulation is done when the software translates the information by sheer force. In some cases you can rally get great performance by tweaking the VM to be as lean as possible and creating VM's tuned to a particular app if you tend to live in it. In Revit, it can not have the performance of some PC's with certain compatible video cards, but Revit and AutoCad are so spotty with they support of video cards that many of us get the best results turning hardware acceleration off anyway. They are accessing the CPU directly with the Mac being used purely as a hardware abstraction layer to mimic some things like video cards, USB, and such. They run in a virtual environment using the virtualization feature included in many modern processors. The concept of 'Emulation' is just not correct. Bluebeam and Revit run pretty well with Fusion or Parallels (I've used Fusion more myself).
