x86/x64 code

Arm-based Windows machines require emulation to run x86/x64 apps because they use different instruction sets. Microsoft has improved the Arm emulation with Windows 11 24H2, called Prism, to enhance performance. Despite growing support for Arm-native applications, many apps still require emulation. Testing showed performance improvements in software applications after the Prism update on existing hardware. Microsoft claims that emulated apps on Snapdragon X Elite PCs are more than two times faster than previous-generation Windows Arm devices.
