Can it run Doom?

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 8 points 6 months ago

No. But it will run NetBSD 😇

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm guessing that it can run multiplayer Doom with ray tracing turned on.

[–] bamboo@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

It could with software ray tracing, but it doesn’t have any GPUs. The CPU cores aren’t especially fast either, they just have a lot of them.

It can run all the dooms....in parallel
