Comment on Arm64EC – Build and port apps for native performance on Armparent

At that point why trust the emulator over the port? Either you have sufficient tests for your workload or you don’t, anything else is voodoo/tarot/tea leaves/SWAG.

"Why trust the emulator?" sounds a lot like asking "why trust the compiler?". It's going to be much more widely-used and broadly-tested than your own code, and probably more thoroughly optimized.

We might be lucky and the emulator guys might have enough testing
