ARM deja domina piata, iar cele mai tari servere din lume se bazeaza pe ARM, nu x86.

Credeam ca macar o portiune non-consumer goods le-a ramas Intel.

Si de aceea ma mira ca Microsoft vine (inca) cu platforme de Windows pe ARM, unde au investit extrem de putin (dovada sta faptul ca Microsoft inca nu are toate aplicatiile proprii disponibile pe ARM, daramite third party developers). Probabil vor ajunge si ei ca Apple, sa foloseasca "translator" (cum e Rosetta 2), adica sa converteasca "on the fly" codul din x86 in ARM.

Windows 11 has similar translation capabilities, and with the Windows 11 24H2 update, that app translation technology is getting a name: Prism.

Microsoft says that Prism isn’t just a new name for the same old translation technology. Translated apps should run between 10 and 20 percent faster on the same Arm hardware after installing the Windows 11 24H2 update, offering some trickle-down benefits that users of the handful of Arm-based Windows 11 PCs should notice even if they don’t shell out for new hardware. The company says that Prism's performance should be similar to Rosetta's, though obviously this depends on the speed of the hardware you're running it. [...]

Google Chrome is finally shipping a native Arm version, as is Dropbox. Adobe also announced today that Illustrator and Premiere Pro would be joining its slate of Arm-native apps later this summer, joining the already-native Photoshop, Lightroom, Firefly, and Express apps.

Microsoft says “Prism” translation layer does for Arm PCs what Rosetta did for Macs
