Comment on Valve 'Fremont' APU breaks cover on Geekbench, most likely for a future console

Game Porting Toolkit is Apple’s new translation layer released on 6th June, 2023. Game Porting Toolkit (GPTK) combines Wine with Apple’s own D3DMetal which supports DirectX 11 and 12. This is a less user-friendly method of installing Windows games on Apple Silicon Macs compared to CrossOver or Parallels, however it unlocks the ability to play many DirectX 12 games. A lot more games work using GPTK, however, games that use anti-cheat or aggressive DRMs generally don’t work.
Not only has Apple well and truly released that, but Codeweavers also develops a compatibility program based off WINE called Crossover.

I very clearly wrote that Linux does not support DirectX. Which is 100% true, no matter how you look at it. Just because there are translation layers, it doesn’t mean Linux ‘supports DirectX’, because it doesn’t. It supports Vulkan, which DXVK and VKD3D translate DirectX API calls to.
Let’s say you can’t read Spanish, but you hire a translator to translate a text for you. Now you can read it. Does that mean you can suddenly read Spanish?

There have literally been changes to the kernel for DXVK/VKD3D/WINE to run better.
