From a performance and technical perspective this is incredible. Well done!

It will never happen, but my dream is for the Asahi devs, Valve, and Apple to all get together to build out a cross-platform Proton to emulate and play games built for Windows on both x86 and ARM hardware running Linux.

A Steam Deck with the performance and power efficiency of an M-series ARM chip and the entire library of games that run on Proton is just...dreamy.

It's more likely it'll be Qualcomm instead of apple and eventually an arm based steam deck. These chips just make a lot of sense for handheld devices.

Are the chips really fundamentally better than their AMD and Intel counterparts made on the same node?

Sure it's a great design, but I believe x86-64 will catch up once again now with everyone using TSMC.

Arm has had a performance-to-power edge over x86 since inception.

AIUI, if you want the most flops per die, you'll buy x86 - probably the 128-core Xeon for enterprise money. But that's not what's best for hand-held gaming.

AAA titles are typically GPU-bound anyway. More CPU flops may not offer much benefit.
