The ARM Surface Pro X took a sort of opposite approach to Apple in several ways.
Rosetta: usually recompiles once ahead of time, only supports 64-bit
Microsoft: seems to recompile on the fly, only supports 32-bit
Also notable is the fact that the leaked benchmarks show the A12Z is generally faster when emulating an Intel CPU with Rosetta 2, than the Surface Pro X is when running natively, and the A12Z isn’t even Apple’s real desktop cpu, it’s just what they had on hand from the iPad (!)
