ARM64EC vs Emulation #112

Open lexcyn opened 1 month ago

lexcyn commented 1 month ago

Now that I have my Surface Laptop, I've been going through some of the apps that are listed here. I think there is some confusion on which apps are ARM64EC or just running in emulation.

You can check task manager to see the architecture the process is running in:

@arminask I wonder if it's worth modifying the readme to include this information - [Edit: Never mind about CapCut, but I do have a list of some other apps that are running in emulation and not ARM64EC/arm64 that were mis-identified]

Which apps are not native? I've yet to find a mistake. Sometimes the ARM64 download link is harder to find on the page, but it's there.

Configuration Manager for example - there is no native or even ARM64EC version of this, it's entirely emulated. There are a few others that are dubious adds, like Twitter, Instagram, etc as they are just web apps (you can tell when the architecture is set as "neutral").

I do think it's maybe worth including the clarification in About/Resources section of the page regarding the ARM64/EC, emulation.

I came on this website for the exact same reason. I saw that Configuration Manager was on here, but after some investigation found that it is emulated.
