Snapdragon X Elite Can Run More Games & Apps With New Microsoft X64 Emulator

Although it is surprising what the x86-64 instruction emulation system that Microsoft has achieved in Windows 11 ARM is capable of, and a large number of programs run smoothly on computers with processors like the Snapdragon X Elite, the truth is that there are certain applications, especially games, that are not able to run correctly in this Prism emulator.

Improved Emulator Testing Begins in Windows 11 ARM

Microsoft wants to fix this and has already started testing a new, improved version of the emulator built into Windows 11 ARM.

This new variant will be able to run games that use instructions with the AVX, AVX2, BMI, FMA, and F16C extensions in 64-bit applications, also allowing the execution of programs that did not have native ARM versions and were not yet compatible with the emulation system.

This new emulator is now available in version 27744 of the Windows 11 Insider Preview, in limited mode, and allows you to run programs like Adobe Premiere Pro 25. Hopefully, it won’t take too long to see it reach the final versions.

Without a doubt, if it delivers what it promises, it will be a very interesting leap in terms of enhancing the versatility of Windows 11 ARM and also of computers with Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus chips.
