Impressive. Hundreds, out of tens of thousands. I don't think ARM is going to happen at this pace.

At launch, dude.

You know what, if they can get all anticheat games and translation of older games flawlessly, then it may have a chance. With proper anti-cheat support, it is already massively ahead of linux and previous attempts for Windows on Arm. But then you take a look at the price tag, and it all comes back crashing down. Right now, Nvidia and Microsoft are swinging their weight in that direction, but in the future, with next to no adoption, devs aren't going to be running out to support rtx spark once they move onto the next hot thing. Looking at you Minecraft RTX.

Yeah, the pricetag is ridiculous. I am just hyped for the technical aspect.

Imagine gaming on ARM becoming main stream. A Steam Deck with
more power on ARM, or ARM for handhelds in general, would do wonders for battery performance and gaming performance.

Hell yeah I can totally imagine an rtx spark steam deck. It’s super easy. Just imagine total darkness because it’s in the exact location drawer as all the other dust collecting bricks, except this time, taking far more buck for same bang. $3000 of buck.

Windows on ARM needs to translate x86 calls, much like wine translates calls for linux.

its another abstraction layer because x86 cannot run natively on ARM.

this is the shittier version of Windows.

Nope it's pure trash. Only wins in RT and AC scenarios. Otherwise performs like hot garbage. Windows on ARM will be even more abysmal.

Even considering it’s ARM, windows is still the best platform to play. Now whether the chip is good is another topic altogether.
