Qualcomm brought a company named Nuvia, which are ex-Apple engineers that help designed the M series Apple silicon chips to produce Oryon which exceeds Apple’s M2 Max in single threaded benchmarks.

Though the impression I get is that this is for Laptops, imagine having a phone with this power, a foldable would make sense.

As a Linux user, I’ve been following the development of Asahi Linux (Linux on the M series MacBooks) with this new development there’s some exciting times to come.

IMO 4th point is very important. For both linux and windows, they need to get that right for immediate transition requirements to ARM.

    All the performance is great, but when I get my first ARM laptop almost everything I want to run is going to be x86. It must perform acceptably with today's applications to be a viable alternative.

    Apple has already proven that emulation can be sufficiently good that a casual user won't notice the difference. If Microsoft is smart this will be a requirement.

    I want to download and execute a utility written for Windows XP on Intel and forget that I'm even using ARM. If you tell the user his favorite app won't work, he will buy a different laptop.
