    Yeah so the last couple generations of their cores were supposed to be Super Awesome™, but in real world usage ended up being absolute dogs - not to mention, the lack of a system analogous to Apple’s Rosetta 2 (say what you will about Apple, but that one translation layer was an absolute godsend in terms of ironing out the vast majority of CPU architecture-related hiccups arising from the x86 -> ARM transition) kinda largely hamstrung adoption.

    Let’s wait and see how this actually performs.

    How much this translates into gaming is very much another question.

    A good way to find out would be Microsoft releasing their own games for Windows ARM. AFAIK only Solitaire Collection is ported to ARM.

    Pointless until someone releases a UEFI capable board that I can install a Linux distro of my choice on.
