From what I could gather from Charlie's article it looks like Qualcomm as looking to push this out the door quietly which isn't a good sign.

Board will sell their shares before the reviews, no problem!
This has always worried me about Qualcomm, always quite pushing it out and never lives up to the hype. Hopefully they do have a product that can compete.

Probably the smart thing to do X86 is still overwhelmingly dominant in the PC space but there is clear writing on the wall, besides Nvidia AMD have the best graphics IP, if they can couple that with an ARM CPU as good as the M1 they could be on to a winner.
Nvidia are doing the same BTW, smart move, you don't want to be late to this party if it is a party.
Interesting admission from the Intel source....

From how I understand the AMD topology, the IO die design means AMD can drop pretty much whatever hardware they like behind it and everything the operating system is requesting is handled behind it.
Want 16 cores of RISK and 64 of X86? no problem. The IO die will pretty much just handle it.

Clam had some input to this very matter. x86 will be around for a long time yet.

Been on a Macbook with Apple Silicon since 2021 and it has been a brilliant experience. I just can't see Microsoft and Qualcomm managing to put together something so seamless. Even though the demos look promising.

A MLID source, it must always be stated.

looks good on paper, lets see how windows/microsoft handle it

I've pre-ordered the OLED Surface Pro so I'll let you all know if it's crap!

For you possibly.

Apple forced the entire user base and software devs to ARM, there wasn't an alternative.
Microsoft can't do the same as X86 will continue alongside ARM and emulation isn't the way.

would you say that if it was a macbook?
