Valve 'Fremont' APU breaks cover on Geekbench, hinting at possible future console | Club386

We're likely still a ways out from seeing Fremont hit the market, but it's clear Valve plans to leverage the power of Zen 4 and RDNA 3.

New steam controller expected to release alongside it. This also should push back estimates of when to expect a Steam Deck 2, since valve is probably putting most of their hardware efforts towards this instead.

    You have literally no idea what you’re talking about:

    Game Porting Toolkit is Apple’s new translation layer released on 6th June, 2023. Game Porting Toolkit (GPTK) combines Wine with Apple’s own D3DMetal which supports DirectX 11 and 12. This is a less user-friendly method of installing Windows games on Apple Silicon Macs compared to CrossOver or Parallels, however it unlocks the ability to play many DirectX 12 games. A lot more games work using GPTK, however, games that use anti-cheat or aggressive DRMs generally don’t work.

    Source.

    Not only has Apple well and truly released that, but Codeweavers also develops a compatibility program based off WINE called Crossover.

    Edit: You’re also massively wrong about DirectX on Linux, DXVK and VKD3D both work to run various versions of it on Linux. Did you think WINE/Proton only works for OpenGL/Vulkan Windows games?

      I very clearly wrote that Linux does not support DirectX. Which is 100% true, no matter how you look at it. Just because there are translation layers, it doesn’t mean Linux ‘supports DirectX’, because it doesn’t. It supports Vulkan, which DXVK and VKD3D translate DirectX API calls to.

      Let’s say you can’t read Spanish, but you hire a translator to translate a text for you. Now you can read it. Does that mean you can suddenly read Spanish?

        There have literally been changes to the kernel for DXVK/VKD3D/WINE to run better. Linux is just a more piecemeal system rather than Windows/macOS having a more holistic approach to an OS.
