This new build of Windows 11 introduces a major upgrade to the Prism emulator that enables support for additional CPU extensions in its emulated x86 processor. These include AVX, AVX2, BMI, FMA, and F16C.
This is big news for ARM Windows laptops. Now according to Microsoft almost every app should be compatible, and they showed Adobe Premiere running fine through emulation.
That’s a surprise usually windows updates make things worse.

Not the point.
I rather run native than emulation.
That way I get to use 100% of the power at my disposal, for the product I bought.
Do you apply the same reasoning for software that use javascript, the JVM, the CLR or some other kind of VM?
That depends on app developers, not MS. Having apps actually work through a translation layer would ease a lot of people’s problems when transitioning to ARM though.
Technically you use more power if you emulate, both electrical power and processing power.
Good for you?
What an oxymoron to say.
