Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC gaming disaster is just one more reason to buy a Mac — here’s what happened this time

If you were hoping to game with a new Copilot+ PC from Microsoft, we’ve got bad news.

The Wall Street Journal has run tests on over 1,200 games using these new PCs and has found mixed results, which seem to come down to the Snapdragon-X chips inside the new Copilot+ machines. For years, Windows has run on x86 chips from Intel and AMD, but Snapdragon runs on ARM, a different architecture than x86. ARM is also what powers Apple silicon chips, found in all of the best iPhones, iPads, Macs the company currently offers.
