Qualcomm loved showing off its new Snapdragon X Elite chips playing the latest and greatest games of the past few years. Tailor-made demos are one thing, but how do games like Control and Baldur’s Gate 3 run for the average user? I gamed on the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition to find out.
ARM-based processors for laptops, like the Snapdragon X Elite and Apple silicon, don’t have the best luck running video games, and that’s because most developers didn’t produce games with that hardware in mind. They lack the support and compatibility for Endpoint Detection & Response (anti-virus software) — which comes into play via anti-cheat engines in online video games.
