    It’s in a state similar to Linux gaming, it depends on the game. It’s potential is making Intel and AMD sweat, though. AMD is already designing ARM CPUs, but so is NVIDIA. It could be very good … or very bad if they attempt to embrace, extend, and exploit with their own chips.

      ARM gaming doesn’t end well for ARM either. RISC-V is creeping up on their embedded market, and gradually appearing in dork-oriented laptops and twee low-end desktops.

      NVIDIA has made arm processors for a while. First commercial product to use one was Microsoft Zune HD in 2009. But I think you meant PC arm cpus.

    I’ve been using windows on ARM since the X1 Processor. Games that are optimised for it, like WoW, run perfectly smooth. But even games using the android subsystem run very bad. The ARM code is just not optimized enough. Apple ARM on the other hand has Whisky, which is like wine, but stronger. Well, my M1 chip on my MacBookAir gets up to a respectable 80°C, but it works smooth until then.
