ARM processors and Graphisoft Software in General

[Nader Belal]

Hi there,
Lately I have seen a lot of talk about the coming new ARM processors, and specially those that would be Windows compatible (for lack of the proper terminology)

In few words, Snapdragon has created a processor that is almost as good as that of Apple's Silicone, Intel and AMD already have there own processors that is either under development or ready to ship if (by their words) the market conditions are right.
And yes, I´m aware that Microsoft Windows is still under development for ARM chips.

So what are Graphisoft's plans in this regards ? (at least in general)

Regards

There has been a Windows for ARM since 2017-18 or so, it just hasn´t gained much traction yet, being basically used in Microsoft Surface devices as far as I know. With the new allegedly AI centred processors it´s becoming more prominent. It may be interesting to know GS stance on the matter, though.

According to this 2022 article they are looking at it, thinking seriously about it and have actually already bought the dev kit - wanting to be first in line when compatible OS arrives.

Nice catch.

In other words, they are on the fence, and seriously I think that is the smart thing to do right now

That was a FLOP. It was made by the marketing geniuses in Microsoft cause it wanted to show muscle, and it was a total disaster.
