Prism layer is one of several under-the-hood overhauls in Windows 11 24H2.

        I’m not sure that means anything. For it to be hardware accelerated you would need a amd64 cpu

          both apple m cpus and snapdragon have hardware magic to make translation viable when paired with usermode tools like Rozetta or Prism
          otherwise it’s painfully slow, as demonstrated by both box64 and fex.

            Do you have a source for that? It seems like that would defeat the purpose of using ARM.
