m1 cpu support on sql server (windows 11 for arm processors)

When microsoft will announce support for M1 cpu on SQL Server? 

M1 apple's CPU is the best selling cpu worldwide and we can use it with parallels side by side with apple's macosx. 

Anybody knows anything?

    Kostas_Papadopoulos While it's not officially supported, it can be installed and the basic functionality is working. You have to install it using a script that I've created: https://github.com/jimm98y/MSSQLEXPRESS-M1-Install

      My guess: Never. SQL Server is a Windows service and only supported on x64 processors.
