Should be possible for Apple to support this via virtualization. Do you just use boot camp and run it natively?

Virtualization is relatively fast because the cpu instructions aren't actually being emulated. No one is going to be gaming on an X86 emulator, at least not for anything released in the past decade and a half or so.

I run boot camp, and for gaming, native CPU support is critical.
