Windows 11 ARM support - new snapdragon X chips

[kasdashdfjsah]

Is Folding@Home 100%/fully optimized with native Windows 11 ARM support in general, and specifically for the new Snapdragon X Plus and Elite ARM Windows laptop chips? And if not, when will it be?

I don't know about future plans, but currently ARM is only supported using Linux as an OS.

There is also support for Apple Silicon which is based on ARM. Using the v7.6.21 client the folding core downloaded is the x86 version and it runs under emulation as the client doesn't identify the processor as Apple Silicon to the servers. The v8 beta client for macOS does run fully native and downloads the native core for CPU processing.

You might be able to run the Linux ARM client under WSL.

Windows on ARM support needs to be added to cbang before the client could support it. This is probably a volunteer developer thing, unless WoA really takes off.

No, and I wouldn't put too much expectations in this ... performance will probably not be great.
