Just to be clear your argument is x86 and x64 win11 software emulation is somehow better than the microcode kludges. This doesn't even work very well or at all with a lot of software written today. =3

Prism leverages Snapdragon X hardware, like Rosetta2 does with the M-series CPUs.

M-series CPUs also leverage micro-ops, like other Aarch64 processors and x86, of course.

I have no idea what your reply is about, I never made such an argument one way or the other.

I still have no idea what you're attempting convey; I've read that article prior. You need to elucidate.

		My point was a kludge effectively purges most of the installed base... thus removing the traditional advantage Microsoft has leveraged over the years. Notably, it additionally undermines any kind of benefits ARM could offer over amd/intel chips. Microsoft is not Apple, and users that purchase half of what they expected will not end well. The Apple community has already experienced massive shifts in hardware, and naturally deprecates old software in shorter life-cycles. Maybe the app store will save them... lol =3 "It is useless to argue with a man whose opinion is based upon a personal or pecuniary interest; the only way to deal with him is to outvote him."
