FEX wouldn't affect GPU side of things though. Also, it's a machine that fits into one and a half hand. I'd call it alright for what it is actually in the context of the size.

FEX is relevant to real use cases because a lot of things that would be GPU-limited on an x86 machine can become CPU-limited when running on DGX Spark. The overhead of x86 to ARM translation, plus the low performance of the ARM cores, plus the overhead of WINE all add up to Windows games running on DGX Spark sometimes being CPU-limited and under-utilizing the GPU.
