Solved! New 16" MacBook Pro M1X and Bootcamp.............

[geochem]

Will the new 16" MacBook Pro M1X be able to run Boot Camp since the Intel chip is being eliminated

No, you will need to figure something else out such as running Parallels.

Thanks.........I was hoping that was not the case as Bootcamp uses native source information while Parallels is a shell-in shell-type emulator. At least that's my understanding. I'm told by a few people that Bootcamp runs much smoother when operating in the PC mode than Parallels

Indeed, that has been the case in the past. I'm not sure about the new versions of Parallels though. I haven't had the chance to check it out on my M1 Mac Mini yet but it's supposed to perform better than previous versions.

Update: My 16" 16 GB MacBook Pro with BootCamp works seamlessly when using a PC-based design program called 2020. Operates as a native PC.
