Probably runs like shit. ARM doesn't scale up well. Why even bother with emulation when ARM cores are weaker than x86 ones? And no fuck off with your crypto-Geekbench graphs.
>only works for x86, not x86-64
DOA. Emulation also means software accel up the ass. No hardware accel will mean piss poor performance and battery life.

you realize that the Nvidia Tegra X1 is an ARM chip that can give near Xbox 360 performance, and Crysis 3 was on the Xbox 360. So it's possible for an ARM based chip to run Crysis 3 if you match or go a little below the settings used for the Xbox 360 version.

Intel will sue for x86 emulation not x64 https://www.techspot.com/news/69649-intel-hints-microsoft-qualcomm-windows-10arm-x86-emulation.html
>"There have been reports that some companies may try to emulate Intel's proprietary x86 ISA without Intel's authorization," writes chief lawyer Stephen Rodgers and Intel Labs Director Richard A. Uhlig. "We do not welcome unlawful infringement of our patents, and we fully expect other companies to continue to respect Intel's intellectual property rights."
>The blog post also states: "Intel carefully protects its x86 innovations, and we do not widely license others to use them."

>>61221321
It recompiles the binary to ARM code and stores it locally, similar to how ART on Android works. It is not straight up slow interpreted emulation.
>>
You know what uses less energy than emulated x86? Running x86 natively.
>>
>>61221416
Everything is already going to be native ARM except the x86 programs you decide to run on it.

>>61221416

Because most applications are no longer under active development and will thus never be ported to any other architecture.

>>
>>61221568
Everything is going to be native ARM, except x86 programs you install yourself.

Unless you're saying Windows itself is so bloated/unoptimized that it sucks even when recompiled natively to ARM.

since when has emulation been illegal?
and from what I gather microsoft is translating compiled applications in software, it's not some special hardware for it. So this isn't even emulation more like a JIT compiler.
I just see no basis for any lawsuit from intel.

>>61221607
>Everything is going to be native ARM, except the software you're actually going to run on it
NT ports to other platforms never flopped because of NT itself, they flopped because the entire point of Windows was running those x86 programs and the NT ports ran them like hot garbage
>>
>>61221804
You know modern software that's still being updated can just be compiled natively for ARM, right? I'd be really surprised if you couldn't get Firefox and Chromium for ARM on Windows.

Only old, outdated legacy x86 software that's no longer being updated or supported will never get a native ARM version.

Yes, but not every app is so Intel invented an emulation system for Android on x86 based processors to run ARM apps on the processor. They called it Houdini.
>>
>>61221848
>but you can just port it!
That was the case the last three times NT was on a non-x86 platform too, yet all of those efforts were utter non-events despite the industry fanfare. Really makes you think, doesn't it? Firefox and Chromium are built with multi-platform support in mind, it isn't always that easy or worth the effort in other cases, especially when these Windows 10 ARM devices are guaranteed to be low-end facebook machine trash to begin with.
>>61221865
I don't understand what this is supposed to prove, except for maybe RT pretty much every mainstream Windows port to another architecture has had seamless x86 emulation, which is the problem, because emulation on all but the most tightly controlled platforms is always shit.

Microsoft wanted to have UWP and desktop apps work on mobile devices, including phones. Intel was originally going to supply mobile processors, but pulled out. Then MS then went to Intel's competitor, and the ONLY game in town for this purpose, ARM, to emulate it. Intel is now crying about it so they won't compete.

>>
>>61223704
Opposite for me. I got a HP Stream 7 and a Alcatel Pop 5 phone, both 1GB, both perform similarly in CPU tests.

The Windows tablet holds 5-7 tabs fine in Edge. The phone however barely can run 1 at a time, 2 tabs in Chrome is all it can do.
Android is a fucking joke.
>>
>>61218995
Windows 64 already emulate 32bit code
>>
>>61223737
The phone is far more susceptible to thermal throttling and probably has significantly less RAM, which would explain the tab issues.

I have a NuVision tablet that was on sale from the Microsoft Store. The thing had atrocious eMMC storage, took 30 seconds to launch edge, and stuttered on 1080p YouTube videos. My RCA tablet from Walmart launches Chrome close-to-instantly and doesn't stutter with videos. Both have 2GB of RAM.
>>
>>61224195
Both 1GB RAM. Yeah, I think eMMC speeds are the Saving grace of the Stream 7, 250MB R/170MB W, makes swapping a lot more bearable.

Software patents, not a thing in most of the world.

Copyright infringement for personal use is not an offense in most countries. US is responsible for copyright terms being 70+ years in the first place.

DMCA, restricts a persons ability to tinker with their own device or vehicle because breaking DRM is a crime. Also hinders security researchers from being able to examine things for bugs which can lead to serious problems being left unaddressed.

If FOSS Dolphin comes with a dynamic recompiler for powerpc->x86 binaries, then surely Microsoft can make one for x86_32->arm.
>>
>>61227318
Dude, modern x86 processors are massively more powerful than the powerpc chips in Nintendo's gaming consoles. Conversely, the Snapdragon 835 is significantly slower than the slowest Core chip it will be trying to emulate the instruction set of. Even at maximum efficiency which is impossible, an sd835 powered, x86 emulating device, will be like using a Core m3 powered laptop at half speed. The thought is laughable. Fucking DOA, my dude.

Overall browser responsiveness especially loading the mountain of JavaScript ads on the modern web. Anything short of a Core m3 on a desktop/laptop type device running a non-mobile browser will choke. It will get a bad reputation and consumers will flee.

They wouldn't notice it with slow interbutt. Also, there would be ARM versions of major browers.

So it's a worse chromebook but with the ability to (slowly) run light x86 applications? This will also probably be way overpriced.


>>61227690
>They wouldn't notice it with slow interbutt.
Normies are at least decent at detecting slow browsing.

>there would be ARM versions of major browers. [citation needed]
It'll be MS edge only, the majors browsers will only port their stuff if this gets big, which it probably wont.

>>61227500
>And?
That means it's just worse than existing products.
>Intel basically gave up on atom, manufacturers have to find other way
They still sell atoms, and still make new celereons for all the chromebooks.

They would be cheap if MS introduces it as a Chromebook killer.
