The beginning of the end of x86 gaming?

They've been running on ARM systems for a while; the biggest issue is that the more powerful ARM systems, i.e. Qualcomm, have been pretty closed.

It wasn't really about x86 - it was about Windows support.

And Valve is finally changing that equation.

The CPU hasn't been the weak link in gaming for a long time now.

Assuming the X2 Elite can muscle its way through a gaming workload similar to how it performs in GB6, it could be the fastest Windows gaming CPU right now: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/18692675?baseline=18774896

If I had a dollar for everything that was going to

1. Kill PC gaming.
2. Kill x86 (anything)
3. The most powerful console ever
4. The most powerful GPU ever

I'd be able to retire on my own private island.
