  1. Just like they removed 16 bit support, they will remove Intel support down the line. You might as well just switch to Linux instead and this way get more apps and games supported on Linux this way.

  2. I think Microsoft should have created a new OS specifically for ARM and have all new first and third party applications natively designed for it. Keep Intel and AMD on Windows 11 for legacy app compatibility.

  3. Id rather take a 19hrs Intel chip than 23hrs ARM chip. The arm chip performance dropoff for a maybe 4hr extra battery life is not worth it, terrible performance compared to the Intel variant.

  4. Microsoft needs to make RSAT tools available for arm 64. Very poor that they haven’t figured this out. It’s a big big problem for Network admins and poor bottom feeding level innovation to lose this by Microsoft! The technology world can’t believe the level of incompetence by Microsoft right now with this!!! MKBH out pressure on them to get this fixed!!!

  5. What I think is going to harm the X elite chips is when AMD/Intel chips genuinely get good. The X elite’s leverage is the great performance and battery life which is currently still unmatched in the Windows world, which gives developers more incentives to optimize their apps.

    Now AMD just released new chips that have also came close to X elite levels of power unplugged and on battery, and once those catch up it’ll probably put devs in a more weird position to kinda just pick and choose which architecture they want to lean towards, especially in enterprise/business environments.

    Apple Silicon at least, it’s just Apple Silicon. When they shifted away from the i9 in the Mac Pro, it gave developers one architecture to stay on, arm. Even then, there’s still the windows apps that ONLY work on x86 that doesn’t completely work on M1/M3 Macs, even thought Apple took strides to optimize those chips.
