Comment on Valve is working on a version of proton for ARM devices
Zamundaaa@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks agoThis myth that ARM is more efficient needs to die already. The ISA has almost no impact on efficiency, and especially no impact on gaming, where the GPU is the much more important thing.

I always figured the reason arm chips tend to be more effecient is that theyve been developped for phones

The architecture was originally developed for desktop PCs, but they discovered it was incredibly efficient at the time (late 80s, early 90s), so Apple partnered with ARM to develop it for the Newton.
The first commercial device with an ARM chip that I remember fondly was a Gameboy Advance.
