Does anyone else think picrel was a failure on computers? Shills will screech like red tailed hawks when you mention GTA V but doesn't this mean that tons and tons of software from the 2010s will run like ass on a brand new 2026 ARM computer?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33DWqRyAAUw
>>108404044>tons and tons of software from the 2010s will run like ass on a brand new 2026 ARM computerHave they been recompiled for ARM or are they running through some kind of translation layer? A source would be nice.
manufacturers are just tired of the intel and amd monopoly on x86 and sidestepped themthats itso you can thank intel for the arm revolution
>>108404899Overall it's 50/50 at the moment. It's much better with the native ports and x265 finally doesn't run like runny dogshit on ARM as more NEON optimizations have been taking hold. SVT-AV1, not so much.>>108404910IMHO I still personally consider ARM an overall failure because the replacement includes things like soldered SSDs/batteries and locked bootloaders turning laptops into giant phones, practically speaking. So yeah manufacturers are getting a lower BoM by abandoning intel but now they've also become blatantly greedier and willing to excessively fuck over their customers for profits.ARM is more energy efficient when software gets ported to it, this is hard to deny.
>>108404044GTA V's problem in particular is entirely GPU. The faggot that spams those graphs gives absolutely no credit to the fact that running a video game with tons of DRM through an x64->arm64 translation layer IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE north of 30fps is an amazing feat of engineering. Still, no, unless Tim Apple finds out how to bend the laws of physics, a Macbook is not being a desktop GPU in gaming. He's still a faggot for spamming that graph though.
>>108406760I don't really believe that. The A18 pro on the iShitter Neo has 2 TFLOPS of GPU cranking amps similar to the ancient poorfag GTX 1050ti so in theory the emulation part should only drop performance to like 80% native performance through rosetta2. Obviously this doesn't happen in real life so Apple is desperately hiding some kind of massive performance penalty and hoping retards will just eat up geekbench scores like good goys.https://lowendmac.com/2025/apple-silicon-a18-pro-chip-specs/https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1050-ti.c2885
>>108404044It was useful in embedded stuff but things got out of control. Now car indicators are controlled by an ARM chip rather than two transistors in a bistable circuit.
>>108404044Arm started off with the right idea but then it's slowly been used as a x86 replacement since then. It's effectively killing what made arm so good in the first place.
>>108406992supposedly the cpu is super duper quick and supposedly has instructions that help emulate x86 yet it can't run gtav as well as an x86 cpu from 2007. so either the cpu isn't that quick, or the emulation isn't that quickhttps://youtu.be/ONTwZBS9qyc
>>108404044Not really, apple did it well and it worked out wonders for them
>>108406992Ahh the coping poorfaggot is back.
If your usecase for a laptop is playing GTAV because you don't have a desktop capable of that, then probably don't get a macbook neo.
>>108404044In the face of the existence of fex + proton this is a moot concern. As has been demonstrated by rinkey-dink phones now full speed running Windows 10 / 11 and cyberpunk 2077 / grand theft auto 5
>>108404044>you can use this efficient cpu to do anything you want>but not that>also not that>not that>no not like that
