> Lots of speculation in the field of vector and matrix extensions. This headline points to AVX now being available for Elite X except, it's via PRISM. As most here would know that's not quite the same as implemented on chip. AVX is x86's vector instructions, all prism will do is translate from AVX into Arms NEON and SVE instructions, which are vector instructions. This addition to PRISM should have significant ramifications for having more video games work on ARM on windows. Many of the reasons why top teir games did not work out of the box was that they have an AVX/Vector instruction check on boot up. If the CPU does not implement those the game fails to load. Now we can stop seeing all those "ViDeO GaMeS Don'T WorK oN SNaPdrAgon X-EliTe" when it was always a Microsoft problem, and a studio problem. Microsoft for being dense and not implementing vector translation right away, and a studio problem for not having a slower non-vector math/physics library implementation.
