Sir please give me a M3 MacBook air 15 😊
Qualcomm is entering the pc market, not at the best time. (Ignoring previous releases). If they entered PC market in 2019 or 2020, it would have been a different story. Now for Apple there is M series chips and intel has already come out of their 10nm debacle. The core ultra series seems quite impressive and the next core ultra (lunar lake and arrow Lake) are around the corner. There is very little that we can gain by going to Qualcomm now. Secondly, for Qualcomm, it's going to be a real struggle now with application compatibility. Nobody buys a laptop for the benchmark scores.
Would make an expensive door stop.
@@Yusufyusuf-lh3dw seriously dude ? current core ultra doesn't pose any threat to this new Qualcomm cpu. The only advantage Intel has is the support of applications and games their product has on windows
Maybe if they release it in an Android Tablet like ipad m2 🤔
I am an Apple guy, for good reasons, however having an ARM windows chip is great news, as Max says it will keep Apple focused. We all remember 10 years of no progress from Intel because they dominated the market, completion is good for us all !
how can u live without customisation and the fact that you dont own the hardware u use
@@Noname12........641if machines can be decently setup and specced right there should be no need for customisation. However I think as arm chips continue to develop you’ll get more options in the future if demand is high enough.
@@richertzyep thats what expected from the apple users
no need for customisation seriously
@@Noname12........641I’m a windows user 😅 I just use my time better
@@Noname12........641 that sounds like someone who has not lived and worked with apple ! I have both Windows and Apple machines, right tool for the right job, games and graphics based software, windows everytime, creation, productivity, video editing, photos and work, Apple, no crashing, everything just works. The video editing is in another league 🙂
Linux will take this chips to another level
why ?
Only if there's proper support by Qualcomm. So far Linux on ARM seems to be mostly happening on single board computers.

Snapdragon got a bright future
Yes Snapdragon X Elite ❤❤
Only if software follows
Apple has a much better eco-system to rope in developers. If there isn't a protocol in hardware/software to get good x86 performance on non native ARM apps it will be junk. All of which Apple had at launch. Microsoft launched the original surface on ARM more than a decade ago and even had ARM variants of windows. Yet despite more than a decade of developing on ARM and having first adopters advantage they're still far behind the curve in software. I trust Qualcomm a lot more with hardware than I trust windows to get their software optimized for ARM near term.
nvidia is also coming to the arm
brighter than my future
This is a very good thing. Apple needs direct competition to keep it from turning into Adobe.
I think the benchmarks should compare with similar TDP processors.
I hope Microsoft takes ARM builds seriously and the rest of the industry follows. After using a Apple M chip laptop its near impossible to go back to x86 laptops that run hot, loud and have terrible battery life.
Tell me one windows producr that they were trend setters and industry followed them? The only good thing from microsoft is their ms office since everyone is locked in in word and excel and compatibility with SAP.. if they would not have it everyone would be on mac.. and we will see how this will evolve once everything goes on cloud.

@@ataytaygaraev4298 for gaming it will need good GPU
That assumes, Apple and others are going to stand still. I agree better Arm chips are coming to Windows, and will alter the landscape. However, I am mindful of these UA-cam videos sensationalizing everything for views.
@@ataytaygaraev4298 graphics can stay idle until required, so battery isn't really an issue. only thing would be weight.
I doubt it will be any more powerful than the m3’s, but the fact that windows users finally get access to good arm chips is good to see. Competition is what we need in desktop/laptop arm CPUs, it will push Apple to make them even better, massive consumer W
A decent answer that's not fanboy apple or windows. Competition is good, I agree. I want to see more arm windows laptops. Everyone knew x86 was aging like milk but so many things depend on it working flawless it was hard to change. Apple could make the switch be ause they didn't power anything but apps on the laptop and word.... Easy to change the game when you're basically not in it as a real player. I mean they had marketshare but it wasn't for business or productivity. They made the switch easily and it worked. Let's hope intel/amd/Qualcomm do the same and jump on the arm movement.
they dont need to be better they just need to be more affordable
people will choose windows over mac any day
@@Noname12........641 mac is or was a status symbol. You have people on social.assictance.bying mac to be cool but can't buy food. They buy it just to look at facebook and snapchat and google docs. It's sad.
Windows is still trashbag of an OS. Even Qualcomm used Linux scores for their presentations.
I honestly don't care about these laptops but I want these chips to be in handheld gaming devices like Legion Go
Ok…in a “Lab environment” the chips look great….what about “real life use”? That we will have to wait…
Lab environment?! I bet you'd do great in a circus. Lab tests many at times don't show the true performance of chips. Some optimizations here and there with some driver updates can make the X Elite perform even better than in this “lab environment”.
@@fidelisitor8953 Lab tests don't show true performance. It's always optimistic performance
Windows pcs don't care about aesthetics so heat sinks will be adequate that's for sure
Lab environment thats a proper pc that is being used
Wow, I would love to see that. Thanks for the content!
Hopefully they eventually come out with desktop CPU's. That's where things will get exciting.
Wow! Came out right on time.
M3 Max comparison is needed, it's not fair to compare elite and ultra chips to base M3
M chip is not available for Windows so the real interest is the comparison in term of power and consumption between an Intel 14th gen and the ARM version. That is what consumer wants to know. In term of comparing with Apple, first, Apple has no hybrid like a Surface. And speaking only of laptop then, the question will be to see what offers a 1700$ Samsung Galaxy Book Edge 4 with this Snapdragon compared to a 512go, 16Go of RAM 1700$ 14" Apple Mac. What chip do you have in a Mac Pro for this price? M3 Ultra?
ofc Apple has no ""hybrid" because that's just stupid beyond imagination, and it shows when you try it out.
the real Problem is the windows and PC ecosystem which will die imo.
running apps in arm will nowhere near rosetta i guarantee you that.
and this is the elephant in the room.
i see no future for windows, intel, nvidia or AMD, they are all dead long term.@@jeanbaptistelabelle
@jeanbaptistelabelle Mac Pro have at least M3 Pro chip.. not the basic M3, and wih 50% more cores even the M3 Pro will perform better like the regular M3.. (and with M2 vs M2 Pro the diff is even higher), and remember in their announcement event they just hided the comparison against the M2 Max.. and actually now the M2 Max has about the same price tag like the M3 Pro..
Sure, you want compare a 6000€ M3 Max vs an Snapdragon X Elite looool
Whats wrong with you?!
@@richi2870 So how much is the Snapdragon X Elite?
excellent. thanks for my daily fix
I did not see performance per watt or efficiency. The lack of data suggests something may be less exciting . Of course, by having 12 performance cores, 50% more than the M3 chip it would be a shocker if the multicore score was not better! I do not think Apple is worried about this. Maybe Intel, but they have been worried for years due to their poor record of upgrades over the last 5-7 years. Then we have to understand these tests are done in perfect condition on reference devices with fans and large casing probably with max RAM and the fastest SSD. When we test with Macs with the same configs when in a retail unit running on Windows in real world tests maybe with non-ARM software, then the reality may not be as rosy.
Exactly, that’s what I’m most curious about. In the cinebench multi core test what matter the most in this situations is not how many score you can get out of it, because anyone can just clock up or put more cores in. Rather it’s more about performance per watt
That is why the real comparison will be against Intel 14th gen. Last year, a Surface Pro 9 in ARM flavor was like less than half the performance of the Intel version.
If this year, the ARM version is at the level of the new Intel chip (quite more powerful that last year), this is a giant LEAP and if the ARM chip has a significant advantage in term of consumption, we may be for an "M chip moment" on Windows side. Very interesting.
And yes, I do think both Intel and Apple are worried. Apple gained suddenly market share because of the M chip. If Windows machines can offer the same level of autonomy (performance was never an issue but rather performance per watts and therefore cooling/form factor...) than Mac, then, Mac sales will become again a tough sell for most.
It is truly remarkable that but a diminutive fraction of the populace comprehends this verity.
It was Elite 950 @ 23 WATTS (41.3 PPW) vs M3 1010 @ 25 WATTS (40.4 PPW) in Cinebench.
I doubt it going to substantially higher wattage variations in the other tests.
If Apple doesn't to worry, then they shouldn't
@@shitvideoquality4856 Qualcomm had the better Performance Per Watt in the Cinebench test.
7:31 or egpu's! That would be wonderful. It's the only thing I feel Apple silicon is missing out on.
At the moment I think Snapdragon is going after Intel/AMD laptop market more than Apple.
Even more important than performance: Will MSFT make such a well designed compatibility layer like Apple made?
The compatibility layer isn't that bad and works. The issue stems from the earlier chips which were all smartphone chips, which are far weaker than laptop chips
there are one right now, it's not the best, but it's good to a degree for now
Hackintosh community days after release: let’s make the ARM version of Mac work on ARM Windows computers!
That's exactly what i thought 😂. They made ryzen hackintosh so why not arm hackintosh ? It will be hard but surely it's possible. Some guys installed Android on iPhone (with checkra1n) so why not ?
I think a bigger question would be apps: Mac is sufficiently popular, especially amongst power users, to where it can force companies to make an ARM native solution. Uncertain if Windows has that leverage as it is a question of how many will buy computers with the X Elite, and is it worth their time. I assume if it compiles for the M line of chips it doesn't necessarily mean it will just be a plug and play for X Elite.
Windows is far more popular on the desktop than Mac, and with Microsoft backing ARM, we've already seen all the big software packages provide ARM versions. I believe all the game devs are going to be providing ARM versions soon, particularly indies like me.
Most internally developed business apps in the last decade are .Net or Java based, which are processor agnostic, so those aren't much of an issue. The biiig lagger here is going to be companies who make security and management software to sell to other business, and big corporations, who move super slowly. But consumers are not going to be a problem IMO.
what exactly are "power users"
@@TheSonoranSniper Expert users of particular feature rich applications, mainly. Quasi-expert users.
Is there a specific benchmark focused on energy-efficient operations? (Not sure but I might have missed this in the comparisons)
I would be nice to see the differences with x86 and Apple ARM in this context.
Pcmark 10 I think.
It will be interesting to see what happens when these chips are actually available in products.
Will come soon, in Summer:)
Do we also see more Arm processor
In mini pc or Qualcomm also have more plans in Arm based computer.😮
Snapdragon X Elite ❤❤
If you mean desktop, that's not so important since on the desktop, Intel x86 are still the fastest and cheapest processors.
But I'm sure Qualcomm will be making an ARM chip for desktop eventually, for those super concerned about heat.
This is the reason why the M1 laptop is selling for 700 dollars at best buy and Walmart. Great job Qualcomm hope you continue making such great chips going forward.
I can't wait to get this kind of power at low wattage in mini PCs too.
X86 is not going anywhere yet 😂
Snapdragon X Elite at 80W demonstrating how inefficient it is 5:15
That is for the complete system, not the chip.
It was Elite 950 @ 23 WATTS vs M3 1010 @ 25 WATTS (Which isn't inefficient)
Them showing a High performance (My Guess) mode beating Apple is more to show, if you wanted more performance, you can get it.
That's not the chip ,that's the whole laptop
23 wat also
By dividing the performance by W, the Snapdragon X Elite obtains 2.3% more performance per consumption compared to the M3, that is good I guess But as you use more W, the performance per W begins to decrease.
We got to learn about the performance of X Elite with Battery & about the long run on intensive tasks :) I really liked it's performance with Davinci Resolve :) Awesome & Thanks :)
Interesting and useful video!
Problem is, M3 has been out in products you can buy for a while and we're still waiting for the very first laptop, tablet, anything with the Qualcomm chip. It looks like a decent chip but there's plenty of work to do. They'll need to execute flawlessly to ensure it's relevant on the market. Ultimately this first chip will lose money, you'd think. They'll need to iterate it quickly and maybe the second or third gen chip will be a big success. I wish them well, the added competition is very welcome.
The Intel products were out before M1 came out also.
End of the day, more competition, better for us consumers.
@@blinblinthing No Intel Meteor Lake only came out at the end of last years, years after M1 launched.
@@lairdinho I didn't mention meteor lake, I'm just saying Intel products were out before M1, meaning, just thinking you shouldn't worry because brand x is out first isn't an accurate statement.
They will need windows support and app support to make it happen. Even if it's better and faster if the programs are not there it's not gonna help.
@@robertbolzicco9995 Some good emulation would help. Apple silicon Macs run old x86 code surprisingly well.
Wish to see some retail products at Computex this year.
I’m excited for ARM chips to make their way to handheld gaming PCs someday and what kind of performance and battery life we might be able to get out of them.
Is there any information about these chips for desktops?
They aren't for desktops, yet. x86 desktops kill these things in performance because they can do much better cooling.
All hail Apple for taking ARM to where it should be. However, the heating issue persists.
Thats an apple issue
Windows on arm won't have that
Let the Linux kernel fix this issue in the futur for linux users ;) However, Snapdragon makes ARM cpu's everyday since long long time...Snapdragon knows ARM better than Apple. Just a thing...I don't know why Snapdragon didn't come to the PC market sooner and destroy the X86. They've been capable of it for a long time, I think.
@@xritics19 Snapdragon (and Mediatek for that matter) do have products in laptop market...as Chromebooks. The problem is that if you want to release products to PC market you need big-name OS behind you, and for the longest time Windows on ARM was quite a joke, and people only use ChromeOS (much less ARM version of ChromeOS) when they _have_ to. Apple, on the other hand, have users that would buy it even if they switched their architecture from the ground up, as proven by the PowerPC to x86 switch way back when.
Imagine an RTX 4070 with these Xelite cpus. In a laptop.
My biggest excitement for this is that this would be perfect for a handheld gaming PC if windows becomes more optimized for that form factor. oh man, a powerful ARM handheld that can run windows games would be the dream with performance and power efficiency for longer battery life
I think its great that there is more competition and kicking ass. Apple stil has one advantage, the optimisation of HW and SW, where the Snapdragon for now will have to do with whatever MS brings to the party.
MS is most valuable company in the world. They have unlimited resources to do this
@@jakejoyride MS is not the valuable company, but they do have a lot of resources. The question is if they want to allocate these to that.
Were the Snapdragons plugged in when the benchmarks ran ?
They probably where. However, 23W power draw for the entire system is absolutely no issue to be consistently delivered from battery
Would love to know if Qualcomm is working having first class Linux support as Intel does. Without full linux driver support while impressive this is irrelevant for software developers, however, if there is support I would think we would have for the first time in 4 years competition to Mac for developers.
And knowing the Qualcomm history in this regard, I wouldn't hold my breath
thanks for info, great news
Thanks for the Speedometer benchmark, can you run the tests also on Linux?
And the price will be?
Haha love how Snapdragon laptop looks almost like a MacBook (those stickers though!)
You can argue that just about any laptop looks like another laptop you've seen before
Snapdragon X Elite ❤❤
Put it in a Razer laptop and it will look even more like a MacBook
I love how apple laptops are used to brows the internet and people just eat them up for word and Facebook.

It’s nice to see that competition is finally coming to the SOC RISC market
I like the Vibe of this video way more than normal. It's a lot more relaxed, natural, and casual
Stick it in a steam deck please
AMDs new laptop chips also have 45 TOPs, as this is the new baseline required by MSFT for Windows 12. Also AMDs GPUs should blow both Intel and Qualcomm out of the water.
But at how many watts? Qualcomm will sip power while the AMD will use significantly more power leading to much shorter battery life while unplugged.
@@fidelisitor8953 Both are 15W class with a cTPD.
X86 is NOT in general less efficient than Arm, now that Arm too is being scaled from embedded and Phones up to laptops, desktop and server compute.
The instruction set balloons and gets less efficient if you scale it to high performance compute no matter if Arm, X86 or any other even like RISC-V.
Latest arch from AMD can scale from low power mobile up to 400W+ server.
The real efficiency savings come from accelerators like NPUs, hardware codecs, vector instructions and GPU compute.
And there, all players are now in 2024 much more comparable than even a few months ago.
@@TDCIYB77 "X86 is NOT in general less efficient than Arm" - If that's so then how the hell does Apple's M3 max match AMD's R9 7945HX performance while using less than half the power draw? M3 max uses 50W to produce same performance as the 125W R9 7945HX so that clearly proves that ARM is significantly more efficient than x86.
@@fidelisitor8953 I am talking about the general instruction sets, and you pick 2 specific models, from 2 specific vendors, with 2 very specific implementation of their respective instruction sets.
What "performance" do you mean? Normalized to what?
As i said, real world performance of Apples (and most other vendors today) chips is NOT achieved through some mystical non existent advantage of Arm vs X86.
But by custom ASICs for codecs, vector math/NPU/GPU compute.
And this is exactly where the gap has closed in 2024.
NOT by CPU compute on Arm cores.
Not that hard to understand.
On top, while Apples lead CPU designers have left to Nuvia and now Qualcomm, leaving Apples IPC improvements lackluster since M1, AMD has consistently delivered higher IPC increases, while also enabling 512 Vector and NPU compute.
Arm only locked like a better ISA because Intels lack of innovation and AMD was no competition due to lack of cash until a few years ago.
The only benefit Arm brings is a license that is a bit more open than X86, and thus enabling new players to compete.
But with Moores Law being dead in a traditional sense, its accelerators and accelerators ONLY where performance innovation can still happen.
The ISA is basically irrelevant outside of licensing.
With enough R&D and software support one could make a competitive RISC-V laptop class chip in 5 years.
@@fidelisitor8953 isnt that also because apple m3 use smaller architecture?
What about all the Windows apps? How will they work on ARM? Will Microsoft introduce something similar to Rosetta for on the fly conversion from x86 to ARM, or will the ARM version of Windows only support ARM based apps? Thanks
Well, I doubt there is ARM windows port of Witcher 3
All the big name Windows software is already ported to ARM, except games. But gamers also largely use desktop CPUs, which have great cooling and don't really need ARM chips because they're still the fastest chips available, with big, beefy GPUs.
It looks like they also flew Alex Ziskind to this junket. I'm looking forward to his testing when Qualcomm finally releases these for real world testing.
9:24 You have to use the same web browser, this comparison makes no sense.
Put that chip in a handheld!
For those curious about X elite systems, if I recall correctly, Qualcomm planned to release some systems in partnership with other brands by the end of this month... or may
Even if it isn't as strong as the M3, I just hope it is generally more affordable. If we can get around M1 or M2-performance for a much better bang-for-buck, then I will be buying that laptop in a heartbeat.
Snapdragon X Elite Laptop ❤❤💪🔥
Looking forward to Android tablets with the newer Qualcomm SoCs.
The Apple M3 is using TSMC 3nm while Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite is using TSMC 4nm which is really advanced 5nm.
The performance improvement from M2 to M3 from Apple is not good, I was expecting more with the move from 4nm to 3nm.
Microsoft Project Volterra was exactly what Windows on ARM developers needed. The Snapdragon offers way more performance than previous attempts so tings will only get better.
It is exciting to have all these choices now.
X Elite is Gen 1
Performance per watt is the only metric that matters in most of these tests.
In performance per watt the X Elite beats the M3 and M3 Pro
@@Pasi123 It’s a shame that we won’t have a proper review by an outlet like anandtech to know for certain.
@@Pasi123 Without a comprehensive test there is no way to know that. It’s interesting that the X Elite makes little mention of single core performance. I think it’s clear why.

Wait for the elite x2 for the 100 tops npu on 3nm node.😊
Snapdragon X Elite ❤❤
Nice hardware on paper, but they don't even have a product (notebook) available in the market. Meanwhile Apple already released three generations of highly integrated systems with optimized software. How does Qualcomm want to catch up exactly?
They was always behind Apple with a few years (even now when most people compare the wrong generarions.. just because SD8G3 is not the A17 competitor, just when Samsung pissed into his pants, and relocsted an renaned the Note, everyone lost the tracking.. if the S24U still called to Note 24 and still release with the iPhone 16, it would be harder to fool the sheeps to compare it only with the iPhone 15..)
So they can solve this with the same way like they always did, shorter software support (even if they started to promise the 7 years for the new purchased phones, Apple aleady done the 8 years OS update cycle, iPhone 6S from 2015 still got the iOS 15.8 security update at Oct 2023, which is more than 8 years away from Sept 2015...)
70% of the population can't afford MacBooks so I'm pretty sure Windows will find a way to optimize everything for the new snapdragon anyways it'll take some time but it'll probably be quicker than expected
@@TamasKiss-yk4st They aren't behind. Snapdragon 8G3 is faster than the A17 in some areas
So the ThinkPad X13s does not exist in your timeline?
Apple released its first generation Apple silicon and beat intel who's been in the game for 40+ years so them releasing 3 gens doesn't mean Qualcomm can't overtake them. Besides this 1st gen Qualcomm chip is already competing with Apples latest M3 and M3 pro chips. All the X Elite needs is some good app/software optimizations and it's off to a flying start.
Nice. More competition is always better
My only concern is compatibility with current windows x86 programs. I wish that was covered more along with any pitfalls.
I am pretty sure snapdragon X elite was meant to compete with the M3 not the M3 series at all. Also, M3 series is 3nm which is why it would have an advantage over snapdragon X Elite in terms of efficiency and single core performance.
has snapdragon x elite 4 nanometers?
Finally, hopefully the end for old, slow and power hungry Intel and AMD x86 cpus on pcs as well.
It all comes down to compatibility. Will all the software developers rewrite their apps for Qualcomm's chip? Will MS Office be hobbled like it is on Apple Silicon?
Office is already ported. IT's not hobbled, unless some extension you use isn't ported. Most existing "big name" Windows software is already ported.
Can't wait to see a model specialized for gaming !
RIP x86 indeed!!!
It is worth saying that this chip was created by Apple engineers who left the company with the knowledge and sold it for billions. All in all, it's an Apple processor under a different name.

Question here:
Does it perform the same when unplugged from the wall?
So basically M3 Pro > Snapdragon X Elite

@@Lubenggazzi That may be the case. If the laptops with the Snapdragon don't go along with this idiocy with the memory prices and SSD surcharges and offer better equipped devices for lower prices, Apple will lose. They are already suffering a significant drop in Mac sales. They're still wondering where that's coming from. Anyone can tell you that it's Apple's incredible greed, a profit margin of 900% for an upgrade step.

I have a Desktop that will stay my main Workstation and Gaming Computer. But if had an Arm Work Laptop that had all my Programs with Apple Battery and Performance, that would be a dream.
I'm one of those people mentioned that switched to Apple for my laptop when the M1 MacBook Air came out, and I'm glad I did. I hope the new Windows ARM laptops make me want to switch back. Competition is great for the consumer!
It looks promising as a development but is the integration of hardware and software comparable with able? And if not, when do they expect to reach that level. Because then it would be an interesting alternative foor me.
I hope we won't get restricted to Qualcomm chips for desktop in the future.
This is very exciting news for Windows users. I have been running Windows 11 Pro ARM64 version on Parallels 19 on my Mac Book Pro, (M3 Pro) 16-GB of RAM and I get faster compile times than Intel i7 desktop with 32-GB of RAM from two years ago... Win 11 ARM64 also runs a great number of games on Parallels utilizing Mac OS Metal, I imagine we'll see something similar with Qualcomm.
For the Snapdragon but also for upcoming Apple Silicon I am very interested in GPU Performance.
Maybe an external hard drive concept with upgradeable AI that can interface with ones/any ones computer,
could prove much cheaper and easier to carry.
One thing to note on this M3 vs X Elite is that there are 8 cores in apple silicon where 4 is efficiency cores while the X Elite has 12 cores so i think its much fair to compare it to an M3 Pro chip
But how many cores are they benchmarking ? How many cores does the M3 have, or the Snapdragon ? Are they comparing similar levels of SKUs ?
Can't wait to get my hands on an x elite gen 2.
It's getting clear that Apple's M4 chip will see a larger Neural Engine to handle AI specific processes. That should be the main gains we'll get next year to benefit the increasing number of AI tools in apps.
My issue is I feel it will be like Apple no upgrades, whatever you get is what you will have till the end of life cycle
Was hoping it will at least match my M2 Pro in 3D rendering tasks. Hope they can further optimize the chip along the road.
What you are talking about? It's faster than M2 pro
hope windows for ARM can perform well
Thats great to hear. Also the good thing is that Microsoft had an contract with Qualcomm that other chipsa are not allowed. The contract is over now. Now Mediatek SOCs for example are also allowed. Now there is competition. It seems that the Qualcomm at 23W is as fast as the R7 7840HS at 35W. Quite good.
Witcher 3 was at 1080p low with FSR balanced. So the render res was 1.129 × 635
VS compilation comparison will depend on what the target is.
Thanks Max for all this information, as I understand that both AMD and Intel are working on the development of their first ARM RISC-based processors to be released perhaps at the end of this year or in 2025.
I would also like it when you make your own comparisons of laptops with Apple, Qualcomm and Intel processors to also include AMD Ryzen 7000 or 8000 series with NPU included.
Greetings and blessings.
While a Snapdragon X Elite may do some benchmarks well, it runs Windows 11 ARM but most applications and games and Intel coded so while Windows 11 ARM can run 64-bit Intel code, the majority of the software out there, how does that run? And put the chip in a real laptop, how is the throttling? You have to come back to the real world when you test this option.
What laptop was the X Elite put in?
This is a game changer, but it drains a lot of battery on the intels. I'm interested in the Mac M2-3, but it's expensive, and since we use Windows at work and there are more games available on Windows than Mac, I'm considering waiting for the Ultra 185 instead. It might be better for video encoding, so I'll wait to get that one for sure.
This processor together with a dedicated graphics card will be incredible
While arm chips are really cool, what I'm most excited about is handheld PCs (e.g steam deck) getting ARM processors.
I'm a bit weird and willing to tolerate the crappier battery life laptops have to offer, but having killer battery life on handheld PCs would be great for gaming on flights without needing to charge or whatever
I really hope that when they start to mass produce it they will offer mini pc-s also like mac mini or even passive cooled mini pc-s not just laptops.
Exciting future with ARM technology. I like apple's technology but I really don't like that the SSD is not replaceable manually.
