    Qualcomm says most Windows games will work on its latest Arm laptop chipset (msn.com)

    They've been trying to make Snapdragon chips that can run games well for quite some time and, it seems, they were counting on the chips getting smaller, so they could cram enough parts on one to emulate any video game, straight out of the box. This explains why Microsoft and AMD have been rolling out updates to multiplex games better on any hardware, because the technology has finally caught up with their usual bullshit, which means they will continue to stomp on the competition. (Kill It! Kill It, Before It Grows!)

    Note, this is why the heavy hitters are also cooperating towards creating unified memory, because the tech is making it cheap and easy to emulate anything, and the frames per second and other traditional issues for gamers are also becoming meaningless. I'd say the next five years at most should tell the tale, but its rapidly becoming dirt cheap to run the most complex video games today.
