it home reported on september 4 that the wall street journal reported yesterday that although microsoft's windows 11 ai+ pc has sufficient computing power to handle various ai tasks and has excellent battery life, it performs poorly in gaming.

it home quoted the media as saying that the microsoft windows 11 ai+ pc products currently on the market are mainly equipped with qualcomm snapdragon x plus and x elite chips. these devices face the same problems as apple mac.whether it is the number of supported games or the game running experience, it is currently inferior to the x86 platform.

to address this, microsoft designed prism, which is basically apple's mac equivalent of rosetta 2. it enables x86 applications to run on arm-based windows machines, but it turns out that it doesn't work very well.

about 1,300 pc games have been independently tested to see if they will run on microsoft's new arm-based pcs, said james mcwhirter, an analyst at research firm omdia.as a result, only about half of the games ran smoothly.

in some cases, the anti-cheat software in games like fortnite and league of legends can’t be compiled to run on arm, and even less graphically demanding games won’t run. there’s no quick fix for this.

microsoft told the wall street journal that graphically demanding games may not run on copilot+ pcs, and while microsoft's goal is to provide a "high-quality gaming experience" on the new devices, players who want a high-performance experience should choose other pcs.
