new ARM processors will start a new trend(equivalent to Apple M2 cip performance per wat)from next year…maybe it is wise to hold your horses for a while

Nah, I want something that will be 100% compatible with older video games. So x86 it is for me.
I find the ARM processor very interesting. Ultimately it’s about sheer horse power. ARM for Windows is lacking but the forthcoming generation is so powerful, apparently faster than the m2 by quite some margin, that it will mean that x86 emulation finally works properly.
More and more applications will have native ARM support as they are compiled to support it.
I doubt that Framework will implement an ARM board for a while but it is an interesting concept.
If ARM were to come to framework, would it be possible to run MacOS on em?
Maybe new Processors but they won’t do shit if the software isn’t there and Windows for Arm is still a big pile of shit.
Apple is doing here a great job with Rosetta 2 having run older x86_64 software on their silicon. From what I have seen Windows isn’t really good at it. And not sure if Linux’ bindet has good performance and compatibility if you have some software where no aarch64 binary exists.
I would be very hesitant to buy a none Apple ARM based PC tbh.
Couple linux projects like box64, they’re great so far but not far enough to have the optimizations to run at Rosetta speeds.
Though games are playable on android
intel METEOR LAKE is launching in December and it is a mix of ARM and x86
Since the entire PC market is cratering right now I’m not sure anything will happen quickly and it might be a few years before hardware/software makers feel a bit more emboldened to invest in new platforms. Not to mention the fact that the likes of the Snapdragon X Elite has not really been rigorously tested in the market so there might be some wrinkles that manifest and need ironing out. I take all the hype with a big grain of salt.
I don’t believe in the ARM hype. Hopefully RISC-V comes along and leapfrogs it.
