Could you elaborate what means?
Anti-cheat software are the real problem. X Elite should be more than good enough to at least run games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail without any issues even when emulated but that's not going to happen for now at least. I sure hope that Qualcomm is working with popular free to play game devs and especially with anti-cheat software devs.Nice, the slides mention that still no AVX support though, just SSE4 for emulation. Most of the older games should have a SSE4 path and newer ones are more likely to get a port.
A bigger stumbling block might be anti-cheats (kernel-drivers) that need to be rewritten to ARM64. That means that most of the stuff that has anti-cheat problems with Steam Deck most certainly won't work on this as well.
The fact that they support even DX9 and OpenGL in drivers is a really solid commitment.

Zen 5 is power efficient enough to challenge the SD X Elite in thin and light notebooks with better iGPU?Zen 5 is a banger of a chip.
Highly skeptical about that, especially since Strix Point is will use same node as Phoenix/Hawk Point.Zen 5 is power efficient enough to challenge the SD X Elite in thin and light notebooks with better iGPU?
How does Apple's Game Porting Toolkit work in comparison?
Doesn't it have the the issues that X Elite will face?
Zen5 turns other $things into paste.Could you elaborate what means?
Qualcomm's only advantage is the fabric power.Highly skeptical about that
See, Qualcomm supports D3D in the most nominal of ways.have DirectX available - check
Technically yes, but any CPU without AVX(2) support isn't worth much for dGP gaming.have the ability to use Nvidia/AMD GPUs in case the onboard GPU isn't quite compatible - check (I'm assuming one or both will make drivers available at some point)
There isn't.I believe there is enough space in the market for both AMD and Qualcomm to grow (at Intel's expense of course )
Now a coalition of tech companies that includes Qualcomm (QCOM.O), opens new tab, Google and Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab plans to loosen Nvidia’s chokehold by going after the chip giant’s secret weapon: the software that keeps developers tied to Nvidia chips. They are part of an expanding group of financiers and companies hacking away at Nvidia's dominance in AI.
"We're actually showing developers how you migrate out from an Nvidia platform," Vinesh Sukumar, Qualcomm's head of AI and machine learning, said in an interview with Reuters.
whoa didn't know Intel moved OneAPI under the Linux Foundation.
Qualcomm is part of the coalition
What about idle power?Qualcomm's only advantage is the fabric power.
Good catch. So this is essentially about https://uxlfoundation.org/ taking over OneAPI from Intel. Arm is also part of the steering group.whoa didn't know Intel moved OneAPI under the Linux Foundation.
Makes sense though, they've lost a huge chunk of that team.
That's fabric power.What about idle power?
I don't see it making any great headway.whoa didn't know Intel moved OneAPI under the Linux Foundation.
