Yes, it is 64-bit on Intel/AMD (hence x86), not ARM.
The x86 is a term used to refer to Intel and AMD, being that Intel chip codes ended with "x86", i.e. 286, 386, 486, etc. The new MacBook Pros are ARM-based, and Parallels can only run the ARM version of Windows 11, meaning that any x86 (32-bit or 64-bit) code must be translated to run on it, which introduces a performance hit.

64bit XPression has been available for about 5 years maybe more?

Also, XPression is x86 and would be translated to ARM64. This wouldn't help the issue either, not even considering the massive performance hit that would result (I also have an M1 Pro MBP, and never even considered it for XPression for those reasons).

As far as I am aware we only officially support NVidia GPUs.

I've just bought a brand new 14 inch MacBook Pro M1 Max.
After installing Parallels Desktop with Windows 11 to do some XPression designing I can't get XPression running :-(.
And then XP quits...
Any thoughts of how to solve this? Because it would be very handy to work from home on this beautiful machine...
