Parallels Desktop 17.1 brings full Windows 11 support to macOS Monterey
melgross said:Just to clear something up that some people might be thinking about, Apple has had a TPM for years, it’s called the Secure Enclave. It’s just not compatible with the TPM used by AMD and Intel, and Apple will never open it up for third party use.
but this development shows that the TPM, as used by AMD and Intel, at least, can easily be worked around by software, so its value is questionable.
On the M1 there is no UEFI, and the boot process works completely differently, so you need virtualization software that emulates the TPM and offer drivers for video (and DirectX), touchpad, mouse, thunderbolt, USB, etc. -

There has always been Software TPMs and Hypervisor TPMs (amongst the 5 types of TPM 2.0 Implementations).
And I still fail to see how the Intel / AMD TPM implementations have anything to do with Windows 11 on ARM. I did read your entire post but it's not clear.
The thing is that with Windows on ARM, Microsoft supports only a handful of devices running a few ARM processors of Qualcomm. Even the customized Microsoft SQ1 and SQ2 are manufactured by Qualcomm in a joint development. By working with Qualcomm, the current Windows on ARM are optimized for these Qualcomm ARM processors, including support for secure boot, TPM and DirectX and hence even hardware virtualization. All aspects that needs to be emulated by the virtualization software (Parallels and others) or Microsoft needs to work with Apple to hardware support the M1/Apple Silicon - both not of interest to Apple neither Microsoft.

M1 16-inch MacBook Pro mistakenly listed by Apple Germany

Keep your day job genius. What you know about the M series chips are about as much as your knowledge to post thoughtfully.
The M series upside is unknown. It may already be near its ceiling but that is extremely unlikely for a large successful company to put big money into development of tech that has near future limitation. In the near future the M series and ARM may be what most personal computing is based off of, or something else may come along to trump it.. But you already know that, right? being the top level thinker your post reveals.I'll definitely keep my day job which I assure you is not being one of those script-following board-swappers Apple likes to call "geniuses".The M series future is somewhat known. Apple will hit the same wall everybody else will. TSMC, who actually make the chips since Apple has zero manufacturing capability, have already announced their plan to make 3nm and 2nm chips in the future. IBM claims they're already making 2nm, we'll see if they can get any volume. But 2nm is getting close to the end of the line, and we'll see if even TSMC manages to push below that, 1nm will probably happen but there's a decent chance that sub-nanometer won't even be workable.I'm skeptical that the Acorn RISC Machine architcture is the future of computing. Apple's tried chip design and RISC before, then the PowerPC hit a wall. Could this time be different? Maybe, but remember ARM is almost as old as the 68k, it's an older architecture than PowerPC.
Wherever you work I feel sorry for the outlook of that company. You obviously like to play EE for Apple or TSMC online yet it is obviously you know less than nothing. Notice how you chage to "somewhat" known now. Fyi, everyone can see that and, while they are already were scoffing, just laugh at your typed non think blathering. And anyone like you (and other screen names you use) who would claim a gen 1 of a chip (now)"has a 'somewhat' known ceiling" is laughable.
