The ARM processors in our phones are very powerful. What if we could use them to run Steam and PC games? In this video, we look at the surprising performance of Steam running on an ARM processor.

Few thoughts after doing this: - It's a deeper rabbit hole than this one, but most of what I do in this video can be done on an Android phone. - The stuff that I had to do to get Box64 to work with Steam is not required anymore, BUT you need a lot of RAM to use the new version that has a working login window. If you have a phone/SBC with less RAM, it might be worth waiting for more improvements or you can just do what I did. - When translation software improves (and drivers), I believe we will see companies that release ARM gaming handhelds that are made for local PC gaming. Cost, heat, and power consumption being the biggest motivators.

Once we get a Mainline Linux Kernel we'll have far more gaming potential than what was possible on earlier ARM CPUs like the S922X, A311D, and RK3399! I recommend Micro Linux's KZbin channel for advice on how to get this stuff running.

Sadly drivers for ARM SoC GPUs are pretty pants. Either they have serious bugs or performance issues or both. If someone designed a console from scratch with their own drivers (ala Sony PS4/5) then I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue.

I tend to think and work at the microcontroller/DSP/FPGA side of things... I don't think many people realize just how poorly optimized most computer hardware is, these days. Back in the 80s and 90s, the cost of new hardwarw was considerably greater than the cost of optimization, particularly because things were still comprehensible from a human standpoint. Memory mapping a 386 program might get a bit crazy, but you could do it and follow things through the registers. The newest ryzen comes with... what... 40+ megabytes of cpu cache and has 32 integer pipelines and 16 floating point/vector units? That's a big flow chart and a lot of graph paper. Even the modest arm cores these days are 4+ core ... amalgamations of integer and floating point units with different instruction sets and then some kind of GPU attached. The fact that a pi pico (rp2040) can run doom at native resolution is kind of insane. We will hit the die shrink limit before 2030 (avoiding the end of the world, provided) and while there will no doubt be hardware innovations from there, it will be really interesting to see what comes from coding optimizations.

@@MrGamelover23 The lattice constant of silicon is something like 0.7 nanometers and we will be at 1 nanometer market standard nodes by 2030. While we could explore some novel structures or semiconductors to try and get more ideal performance or pump higher powers... we're soon to be at the end of simple performance gains. We either will need some variety of new paradigms of computing operation or some kind of new physics paradigm... some force or process completely unknown. Even then, whatever that is gets instantly incorporated at the current nanoscale fabrication paradigm. If a diamond processor is radically more powerful in concept, then we roll it into the state of the art fab processes and don't see the incremental improvements like before. This is also why I suspect we will see more open source programs in the future. AMD was ahead of the curve when they split off their fab process. Already, die design and structure has become significantly more important than raw performance. We saw this as far back as netburst vs k8 (which was my stomping grounds in pc building). Branch prediction, cache efficiency, and instruction set features are considerably more important than raw hertz. Performance may be a bit more difficult to market, but it certainly sells and the market figures out what it needs ... for the most part. Performance can be a bit relative, and we have seen divergent designs - power efficient designs, 'gaming' designs, and network/data designs. Even going back to netburst - while the K8 kicked the bejeesus out of the netburst cores in gaming performance - if you wanted to render raytrace scenes or compress/decompress data, the design quirks of the netburst paid off and made it vastly superior in those tasks. Kind of like how an ASIC or FPGA can run circles around graphics cards in sha256 hashing (which is why cryptoknight is used for monero, the algo isn't as easy to vector through a pipeline). For comparison, the first computer I built was an Athlon 64 3700+ (k8) on a 939 socket clocked at 2.4ghz with 512 megabytes of memory (4G max, which I ultimately upgraded to). The graphics card was an nvidia geforce 9700... with 256megs of onboard vram if memory serves. Back in 2005. The $200 fanless laptop I bought a year ago uses an athlon silver which is basically two improved k8 cores at 2.4ghz. It's hard to know if the embedded graphics core matches the 7900 from 2005... but I expect it probably kicks the crap out of the first computer I built in most regards. The banana and orange pi examples I bought to play with as raspberry pi competitors come with generally more powerful hardware and all of them each possess the kind of raw computing power to automate the entire factory I work in (in principle, at least). We're almost at the point where improvements in computing performance are only critical to a certain set of the market, as most of what exists, today, is more than capable of most things people use computers for.

There is a rumor than Valve is funding development of FEX Emu, which is why it is compatible with steam. The entire purpose of fex emu is to run steam games on arm. I do think in a couple of years we might see an arm client by Valve and a linux container for Android like how they created a linux container for ChromeOS. This could be huge for Arm gaming.

Your first time compiling a kernel... Remember that feeling of "oh hell is this gonna work, what am I even doing? This is gonna take how long?" (8 hours later) it worked! (Or) lather rinse repeat till it works Nothing like that first time... Pretty soon you'll be rolling out your own kernels with the teeniest optimizations just to see what you can get the slowest SBC you have to do

I swear I had to double read because I saw "kernel compile" and your name starting with J. Jeff Gearling probably knows a thing or two about this stuff tho :P

The horrors you've faced, this is why I definitely wait for the experts to work this out before buying a product. Just don't have enough patience for all that headache! It's pretty cool work!

I now feel tempted to try this with ubuntu on nintendo switch vulkan drivers seems pretty stable.

Box86/64, Mesa, and x86toARM translation has gotten really far! Wow! If this goes far enough I think a platform backer like valve could propel a Proton-like effect for ARM on PCs....though the whole Linux ecosystem has to pull teeth to get the ARM chip makers to cooperate as it is . _.

This was entertaining, thank you. Comparing the performance to an entry level x86 mini PC would be nice. Liliputing reported about Intel N100 based devices starting at around 150$ - thats 10$ more than NanoPi R6S with case, though you need to add storage (but you need that for ARM SBC as well, as built in eMMC isn't that capacious most of the time). I guess that older Ryzen based mini PCs with decent Vega GPUs are still on the market as well. ARM is very efficient, but entry level low power x86 chips are also way better than they used to be. I suppose that N100 plays original Skyrim just fine, as I was able to run it almost a decade ago on 3317U iGPU. I might be wrong, though. It might be easier to have an x86 device and tinker when wanting to run google store app than the other way around. But maybe not - I submit an idea for another video here.

Makes me very curious to see what devs could do with such an arm chip if they assigned a team to optimize games for it. Just wow 👌

You should write up and share some documentation on the different commands and programs you used to a google doc and share it :)

Curious where did you get the $40 quote for the chip? Ive been having trouble sourcing the chip for a custom SBC project i have lined up. Also use panfrost driver for Vulkan and OpenGL support in linux.

I appreciate your chip model, as someone who also has one or two loose Athlon II chips lying around (from Turion and Phenom upgrades).

The amount of progress ARM chips have gotten over the years is wild to me, I have an ODROID U2 that I barely use now because it's dog slow and struggles with linux for some unknown reason (Probably actually the SD card it's installed on now I think about it) but you have a unit like this that's running games well. Amazing. One day I'll build a gaming PC the size of a NUC that runs all my childhood games perfectly. I look forward to that day.

Try running Bleach bit on the SD card. its likely bloated with OS crap and your test apps. same as old Windows 98 XP Vista on old slow PCs was wonderful out of the box then degraded over time.

@@joefish6091 I'm going to try this anyway, but it's slow on fresh installs too. I'm notorious for using SD cards I found in phones in the tech bin that don't have a speed rating, could be that too.
