Arrr, matey! Microsoft's fancy Arm-powered contraptions be mighty clever with the sorcery of AI, but when it comes to shiverin' yer timbers in games, they be fallin’ flatter than a parrot in a storm, say the scallywags in the latest tale of woe!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of Microsoft’s newfangled machines, the Copilot+ PCs, which be built fer speedy AI tasks and all-day battery life, but hold yer horses if ye be a gaming swashbuckler!Ye see, these contraptions be not crafted with the gaming enthusiast in mind. A report from the Wall Street Journal hoisted the sails on a troubling discovery: of 1,300 PC games tested, a mere half could run smooth as a calm sea! Blimey, that’s a right mess fer yer casual gaming needs!
The root o' the trouble lies in the Arm-based Snapdragon X chips, which be different than the usual x86 chips. Microsoft be tryin' to use a magical layer called Prism to translate games, but alas, it be introducing more hiccups than a cap'n with a grog problem!
Some games, like that scallywag Fortnite and League of Legends, can’t even be played on these devices, what with pesky anti-cheat systems makin’ it even harder. So, if ye be wantin’ to sail the seas of gaming, these Copilot+ PCs be not yer ship of choice, savvy?
In the future, fear not, for Intel and AMD be on the horizon, promising machines that’ll dance a merry jig with all yer favorite games. For now, though, those wishing t' game best look elsewhere, lest they find themselves in troubled waters!
