This new build of Windows 11 introduces a major upgrade to the Prism emulator that enables support for additional CPU extensions in its emulated x86 processor. These include AVX, AVX2, BMI, FMA, and F16C.

This is big news for ARM Windows laptops. Now according to Microsoft almost every app should be compatible, and they showed Adobe Premiere running fine through emulation.

I rather run native than emulation.

That way I get to use 100% of the power at my disposal, for the product I bought.

What an oxymoron to say.

Do you apply the same reasoning for software that use javascript, the JVM, the CLR or some other kind of VM?

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 9 points 20 hours ago

Okay then just use an x86 processor?

It is very weird how people are coming in to declare their preference on architecture for some reason.

Not nowhere as weird as when I asked for a recommendation for something the other day. Poster replied to me nicely, I nicely said thank you, poster upvoted and a third person downvoted my thank you note! 🤣 🙈

That depends on app developers, not MS. Having apps actually work through a translation layer would ease a lot of people's problems when transitioning to ARM though.
