Here are some highlights from Parallels on the new version: Parallels Desktop for Mac is a hardware emulation virtualization software, using hypervisor technology that works by mapping the host computers hardware resources directly to the virtual machines resources. With native support for Apple's M1 chips, you can bring Windows 10 to Apple's popular MacBook hardware.

Not sure what you mean by MAC mini capped at 1Ghz, as I don't think it is, but your old Intel Mac was running x86 Windows, and your M1. The new version also delivers better virtual machine performance than running a Windows 10 VM on an Intel-based MacBook Pro. Back in December, Parallels released a Parallels Desktop 16 for M1 Macs Technical Preview Program, which is designed to allow Parallels to run Windows on M1 Macs.

Parallels Desktop 16.5 is more energy efficient and delivers better performance than Parallels Desktop on Intel-based MacBooks. Parallels released a new version of its flagship software today that allows you to run Windows 10 on Apple's M1 MacBooks.
