I have always wondered how it is done by Win 8. It requires knowledge of every single released device from Microsoft side, isn't it? How will it scale?
Doesn't it only require knowledge of every architecture? And supporting ARM and x86 would cover a great majority of devices. They could improve performance by targeting specific versions of the architecture, such as ARMv7 or x86_64, but even without that, performance would likely be better than that of a JIT.
