We've seen with the M range of SoCs that even with the emulation overhead, you can gain battery life even accounting for that. Plus the OS itself would be natively compiled, so that's always an efficiency gain.
- messe 4y agoBut how much of that is because they were ARM vs being the first desktop-class CPUs on a 5nm process?
- Someone1234 4y agoBecause ARM64 is significantly more R&D dollars spent on it than x86-64. That's a trend that is going to continue. So the question is do you keep clinging to a slowly dying platform that is falling further and further behind, or do you go to the commodity platform that is going from strength to strength? The Steam Deck will wind up on ARM64 eventually, it is a matter of "when?" not "if?"
