Now that's progression. Love to see Windows on ARM taken seriously.

looks like Prism is more than just branding, its good to hear

[guymontag]

Oh sick, I've been looking forward to when this came to preview branches for my x13s. Sounds like it's about as described by MS though, 10-20% upgrade to emulation. Maybe I'll give Starcraft 2 a shot to see if it's gotten any better :)

Surface Pro X here (OG with a measly 8GB of RAM). I loaded it soon as it was announced on Build and it's improved my opinion of my laptop immensely. Switching between Edge and Chrome tabs are much faster and the overall responsiveness is much improved. Love it.

[gunayorbay]

I have the dev kit from 2023 and it's been doing much better with graphical applications since the update.

[bazanime]

I look forward to trying out the update on my R&K. Every little bit of extra performance and optimisation is always welcome. Thanks for the video.

Looking forward to replacing my Zenbook S with an arm based laptop soon!

I'm just waiting for ARM to be supported by Minecraft natively

[ymtzlgn]

I’m a Mac user but things on the Microsoft side seem really exciting. The Surface pro is still my dream form factor. Do you think it’s worth looking into?

[AndrewMackoul]

I have a Galaxy Book Go with the 8cx Gen2 SoC. I also saw a decent performance increase on 24H2. One reason is because they removed the old ARMv8 instruction set and uses the more efficient/faster instruction set.

[BWOne]

Affinity Photo released 2.5, which I believe has ARM support now, so I wonder how it will work with that support on this? I was a big fan of Affinity, but after the sale to Canva and how Capture One killed the Express version, I decided to return to the Adobe LightRoom/Photoshop bundle. Still using Davinci Resolve Studio. I love that.

[BigEightiesNewWave]

Waiting for Lunar Lake, personally, it has BIG changes baked in, like SEA change stuff, as well as Arrow Lake for desktop.
Power Islands, PowerVia backside power, Ribbon FET, 1.8 nanometer process, Gen 2 ARC GPU Battlemage.
Intel only one with LA EUV machines, and several of it's OWN FABS, so it can do wafers for others, too.

glad to see mirosoft working to optimize WoA

[TawodiElohi]

Yeah. I am running my Lenovo X13s 5G and after the update it does feel slightly snappier after the update. I will try a couple of Steam games this weekend and see how it performs.

[nullgator]

Curious to see how emulators perform on the upcoming hardware. Many emulators don't target WoA specifically so I'm curious if they'll recognize what's happening and run their own arm64 compatibility that's included for Linux or just run through prism

[christianr.]

Can’t wait to see what the new surface pro can do with prism

[sebastianserwin]

X13s owner here. All necessary soft in native ARM version. WSL2 Linux is super fast. Python faster than on MacBook M1. Tried to install Release Preview but system restored 23H2. I have to try again

[sperryjeff]

Really wanted to pick up a Robo & Kala.... love when you show it off. Think its still worth grabbing with the pending SD Elite products coming out?

[davidallen]

I have this same tablet, love it as well.
