FIREPOWER 825 Posted Tuesday at 07:29 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:29 PM (edited) We thought Series S was bad, this might be a different level.... Rich from DF spent £2000 on a Surface Laptop with an ARM processor and couldn't even get Crysis 3 to load. GOW 2018 is a stuttery 20fps mess on the laptop. Obviously, MS won't have exactly the same setup in their new system but this offers a preview of just how bad ARM is for gaming.

Playstation Tablet 1,772 Posted Tuesday at 07:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:37 PM Maybe ARM is for their handheld only? Link to post Share on other sites
Tainted 5 Posted Tuesday at 07:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:53 PM I don't want an ARM Xbox. I want a next gen powerhouse, and I want it to play Steam games too. Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is some of the latest rumors are that MS might be going the handheld route and their next gaming device might be a hybrid that uses ARM. One of the most prominent leaks is that their Surface division may be in charge of design for the new machine and they plan to use ARM. We'll see how it goes but this doesn't look promising so far.

If that is the route, that doesn't sound promising at all. I am sure I would still buy it, but I wouldn't like it. Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,832 Posted Tuesday at 08:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:40 PM There's nothing stopping MS from going with an Nvidia based SoC like the Switch 2. Doesn't mean it would have to be Shatdragon lol Link to post Share on other sites

lynux3 2,247 Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM This isn’t the first time Microsoft has played in the ARM realm. Their last effort was a flop too. Link to post Share on other sites
