There were no significant differences in most tests between Windows 7 and Windows 8 virtual machines. Note that most tests cite only Windows 7 results for the sake of simplicity in reading the charts. All operating systems were updated with the latest publicly available patches and updates.įor tests that cite “native” performance, we used Windows 7 Enterprise 圆4 installed via Boot Camp on the MacBook Pro.

Our host operating system is OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, and our guest operating systems were Windows 7 Enterprise 圆4 and Windows 8 Pro 圆4.
Our tests were performed on a 2012 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display, equipped with a quad-core 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. As a follow-up to our virtualization benchmark showdown last fall, we began testing the new version immediately and we have some preliminary benchmarks to share. Version 9 brings many new features to the virtualization game, but Parallels also promises significant performance improvements. Parallels released Parallels Desktop 9, the latest version of the company’s virtualization software, early Thursday.
