Microsoft says not to expect good gaming performance from its new ARM Surface laptops

The new Copilot Plus PCs are here, and the laptops running the Snapdragon X series processors are among the first. While these new systems are great news for Windows on ARM, Microsoft says to expect its new Surface models to excel in productivity, not in gaming.

So far in gaming benchmarks they look really good tho. THey're able to play 1080p AAA Titles at Low at reasonable FPS which is more than acceptable. Its not like they're AMD Chips, but theyre on par w/ what Intel is able to do w/ their igpus.

Ah, now after months of claiming how everything works awesomely-well and equally good as on "legacy chips" (as Qualcomm calls x86), putting a whole Works on WOA website up - Snapdragon X Elite ohne Fortnite, Roblox & Co.: So gut laufen 1.481 Spiele auf dem ARM-Chip - and calling it Microsoft-approved, bragging at literally every existing opportunity how gaming on X Elite SoCs is nice, playable and enjoyable (here for example https://youtu.be/Auz3Sde2g_E?t=391, with still visible stutters and literal 0 fps all the time, yet people still kept parroting the hype and PR bs)...

...we have come to "Microsoft says not to expect good gaming performance on ARM."

Ok.

+1 True, all that remains is to see and make a fair comparison between the new ZEN 5, the 15gen from Intel and Qualcoom, for the moment according to synthetic tests, the jump from AMD ZEN 4 --> AMD ZEN 5 is 30% more performance, that is. Computing is brutal and consumption tests are being carried out tying with the Qualcoom, therefore to take into account for a future purchase, of course, AMD ultrabooks have always been cheaper than Intel.
Of the featured products that can get more performance out of artificial intelligence currently, SURFACE PRO 10, GALAXYBOOK 4 AND MINISFORUM V3.
These types of products are the stars of this 2024. I hope for a neutral and fair comparison from this website.

Microsoft and Qualcomm's biggest issue is actually not about the fps numbers or benchmarks, it's about reliability. Many steam games would simply not run. It's not about making them gaming machines, it's that they expose reliability issues or holes in the OS/Hardware ecosystem.

If there is a chance that a certain program would not run, it damages trust. Gaining trust in the ARM ecosystem is paramount. I'm afraid prism and x86/x64 emulation hasn't fully addressed.

Preferably, all software should run seamlessly. Then we can talk about benchmark or fps numbers.
