Microsoft's new AI computers struggle with gaming performance

Microsoft's new Copilot+ PCs, designed for enhanced AI tasks and powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon Arm-based chips, are facing significant challenges with gaming.

Despite their advanced features, these PCs struggle to run many popular PC games due to compatibility issues with x86 architecture, even with Microsoft's Prism translation tool. Testing revealed that only half of the 1,300 games evaluated ran without problems, with some games like Fortnite and League of Legends failing to launch entirely.

Microsoft has acknowledged these issues, advising gamers seeking high-performance experiences to consider other PC options.
