Another nail in the coffin- I think a lot of people don't realize the level of performance Qualcomm has reached with these. This is the closest competition to Apple's M series that we have, for the laptop form factor at least. They are better than Intel and AMD's combined best. Oh, what a bunch of fools lead us.

Qualcomm will hit the same problem Intel has today: Great on Linux, su-ks on Windows. Because Linux adoption rate is low, no one will see the Performance gains on any SOC compared to Windows.
In the end, Qualcomm suffers the same problem and they will become just another SOC vendor that OEM's can use to negotiate with Intel.
There is a famous quote in the Corporate/Commercial world: No one got fired when buying Intel.
@k9 maybe we can build them
Long live WinTel !
Snapdragon CPU is from Qualcomm and made by TSMC. It is a strong competitor of Intel CPU.
@j2 LMFAO. Yields are around 15%.
I guess Intel 18A is producing this chip with 100% yield to compete with AMD
Honestly, ARM is in the past. The industry is switching to Risc-V now.
No one wants to pay those licensing costs for no reason whatsoever.
And Risc-V delivers that.
This was too obvious from way back.
