This time does feel different. The x64 emulation through Prism is a technological marvel and they just got AVX512 working which means that a lot more games will start to work. For companies that due pursue native ARM64 support, it's not all or nothing, there are ways to iteratively bring over pieces of that app. They also have this new App Assure program where they are working with both their customers as well as 3rd party app developers to get as much compatibility with existing apps as possible. Microsoft's previous attempts were silo'd platforms that weren't compatible at all with existing apps, so to me I see this eventually taking off like you say.
- iforgotpassword 2y agoHuh? Can you name any game that requires AVX512? I haven't encountered any so far.
- goosedragons 2y agoI don't think any games require AVX512 but the current x64 release emulator doesn't support AVX or AVX2 either which is needed by some games. The preview release of Windows for ARM does add support for AVX/AVX2.
- iforgotpassword 2y agoYeah that makes sense, those two have been around for quite a while I guess.
