ptitSeb is doing great work on box64 using ADLINK Ampere desktop. Video below is box64 0.3.6 Linux x86 user space on Debian Trixie arm64 running Windows games on Wine/Proton Steam using Altra 128 core 2.6GHz, 6 memory channels, RTX 4060. I wonder what we’ll see with 128 core 3GHz, 8 memory channels, RTX 5070. Or AmpereOne 96 core 3.6GHz, 8 or 12 memory channels, RTX 5090.

Wow, the game runs so smooth, the CPU is basically just chilling—using less than 10%!
Yep, @GloriousEggroll is also up to high jinks with Doom 2016 on Ampere via FEX
I’ve spent some time getting everything set up and decided to put together a little video showing off some of the games I’ve got running.
There are a large amount of games I haven’t recorded footage of yet and many more that I want to test.
Love it! box64 is developed by ptitSeb on ADLINK donated Ampere gear. @bexcran gets 150fps Path of Exile Win x86 Steam with Wine on box64 0.3.6 with AmpereOne desktop
I started testing more games. Especially after getting ubuntu 25.10 running on my X elite laptop I wanted to go back and try some other games that were not working before on my Ampere setup.
Nice! Here are a bunch of Steam Windows x86 games running with Wine/Proton and and ptitSeb’s newly released box64 0.3.8 on ADLINK Ampere Altra 64 core 3.3GHz and RTX 4060. New Box64 v0.3.8 released – Box86 / Box64

I’m really curious what the performance difference is between the 3.3ghz Altras and AmpereOne Cpus is in games. I know the memory speed and clock speed bumps help. But I wonder where is stacks up compared to something like a A720 or Neoverse N1.
Don’t yet have scientific apples to apples comparison. It does appear that Steam Windows x86 games with Wine/Proton box64 exhibit double the FPS on AmpereOne 96 core desktop compared to a similarly configured Altra 3GHz or 3.3GHz desktop.
