*According to Qualcomm

Third times the charm. Qualcomm messed up the last time they tried to make an ARM chip for computers, but this time Im more optimistic. The specs look amazing on paper

It’s hilarious Qualcomm keeps claiming this is their tech. They failed for years to make ARM on pc happen. Then some engineers leave Apple after the transition to M-series chips and make their own equivalent for PCs and Qualcomm, on contract with Microsoft to deliver an ARM chip for windows-powered portables just fucking buys them and slaps their branding on it. There is a HUGE difference between the X series Qualcomm chip and their previous SQ-series science fair trash. The X series are good chips. Their Linux support is lacking but for most users who wouldn’t consider leaving windows even if it gave them cancer these are perfectly fine chips. We need more diversity in the chip market and ARM is great for that. Qualcomm sucks is all.
