It's funny that FEX-Emu switched to WOW64 before Steam client.

Anyone have an ETA on when I Can play crysis on my risk-v machine?

I think you mean proton. It's not fully ready but it works for most cases.

Still doesn't support the open standard ISA, RISC-V.

And thus drifts further into irrelevance, relative to Box64.

We are looking forward to future ARM platforms that can take Radeon GPUs through PCIe slots

Why not instead look at RISC-V, which has hardware that can take Radeon GPUs through PCIe slots TODAY?

You are right, it's Proton. And also it is a reason why Steam client requires i386 packages.

Are there any powerful Risc-V systems that matches the Snapdragon 8 gen 3cx when it comes to performance?

There are no "big" cores yet. Untill that, RISC-V is e.g. for microcontrollers only, not computers.

No, Steam client requires it for older 32-bit Linux native games, which also can't use the newer runtimes either because they weren't developed for them.

In which parallel universe is competitive Risc-V Hardware available. Where can I order it?
