Running Windows under UTM on macOS was (and might still be) the fastest way to run Windows on ARM.

UTM does both. hypervisor for ARM, qemu for other archs

I need to run a few utilities that only work on Windows and those work fine on Windows for ARM under UTM. These utilities are built for Intel but run fine - Windows for ARM translates the code on the fly. It has a translation layer called "Prism."

Parallels and VMware still do implement their own graphics virtualisation (among other things) for Windows and Linux guests on Apple silicon, and in my experience Parallels still works better than the alternatives for Windows.

UTM can do both depending on how you configure it.
