Microsoft's x86 on ARM64 emulation
- Someone 10y agoEmulating x86 on ARM already and getting decent performance is a challenge. Running desktop software on a mobile CPU won't make that easier. On the plus side, they won't need to emulate Windows Explorer, Office, Visual Studio, IE and audio players. That probably covers 90%+ of all CPU cycles for a typical user. I guess they also will try and do a binary translation, as opposed to emulation for programs they deem important.
