It already exists? You can buy ARM Windows devices right now. I'm typing this on one. The x86/x64 emulator is pretty good but performance is limited by the slower CPUs.



I’m referring to a Windows ARM chip using the latest Qualcomm chip that is suppose to be so good.

All indications are that the Windows x86 emulator has relatively bad performance.


We can already use the Windows x86/x64 emulator. Unless you have specifics that Snapdragon X Elite performs worse under it than current chips we can expect about 60% the performance. Rosetta 2 is about 75%. Based on Qualcomm's Geekbench 6 numbers it'll have about the same x86/x64 performance as the M1.
