I’ll be testing those claims shortly over at TekRevue with a full benchmark comparison between Fusion 7 and Fusion 8, similar to the benchmarks already conducted for Parallels 11. Overall, VMware advertises improvements in Fusion 8 that can bring “near native” speed to many common virtualization activities. Fusion 8 Pro: Fusion 8 Pro offers all of the features of standard Fusion 8, but also brings support for additional enterprise-level and development-grade guest environments, the ability to support linked VM clones, significantly improved performance for encrypted VMs, custom virtual networks including IPv6 network translation, the ability to control or restrict VM environments, and integrated support for VMware’s cloud-hosted vCloud Air service (including a promotional offer for new vCloud Air customers to receive $600 in usage credits over six months).

USB 3.0 Support for Windows 7: If you’re not moving to the latest operating systems just yet, VMware hopes to make the experience on older versions of Windows a bit better through the introduction of full USB 3.0 support for Windows 7, something that was previously unavailable due to the lack of drivers offered by Microsoft. Streamlined VM Setup and Configuration: The wizard for installing, importing, and configuring VMs has been streamlined for Fusion 8, and all options - creating a new VM, importing a VM, migrating a Boot Camp partition, and even accessing VMs on remote servers - are now found in a single menu. There are also no version-specific limits on the hardware that can be assigned to a VM, with all versions of the product able to support up to 16 virtual CPUs, 64GB of RAM, 8TB virtual disks, and the aforementioned 2GB of video memory.
Support for New Mac Hardware: Fusion 8 has been updated to support the new Mac hardware and OS X technologies released in the past year, including support for Force Touch on the latest MacBooks, the 5K display on the 27-inch Retina iMac, optimizations for fast PCIe flash storage, and core “under the hood” improvements that will be introduced in El Capitan. To take advantage of these new graphics capabilities, users can also now assign up to 2GB of graphics memory to a virtual machine’s hardware configuration. Improved Graphics Performance: Fusion 8 introduces significantly improved graphics performance as compared to its predecessor, with support for DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3. Fusion also supports new El Capitan features such as Split Screen and the ability to search the contents of Windows virtual machines via Spotlight.
