Just Windows things lolI've been having this play in the background and it seems that he's having major issues with his WARM laptops downloading any kind of programming tools (VS, Github). It blocks any downloads of these tools, even after turning off the AV protections. So it seems like there's still some significant teething issues to work through if developer tools can't even be downloaded.

Same as Rosetta 2 on Mac which genocided ancient DAW stacks and their plugins en masse.Yeah, it's Windows, nothing to do with the chipset. They just said they've never had this issue with their x86 laptops. They've also had issues with multiple different types of programs (audio mixing, video editing, etc.) not working right or not opening at all. Seems the emulation process is hit and miss with at least some programs not working at all. WARM just still doesn't seem ready for prime time yet, unfortunately.
The livestreamer specifically said that their M1 review had none of these issues that the X Elite is currently running into.Same as Rosetta 2 on Mac which genocided ancient DAW stacks and their plugins en masse.
Expected stuff.
Yeah but I doubt he was touching Mac-core ancient DAW stuff from ca 2008 that people swear by.The livestreamer specifically said that their M1 review had none of these issues that the X Elite is currently running into.
DAWs are expected but general productivity apps are not working.Same as Rosetta 2 on Mac which genocided ancient DAW stacks and their plugins en masse.
Well that's just unfortunate then.DAWs are expected but general productivity apps are not working.

I told you, he's a good an' honest reviewer.I've been having this play in the background and it seems that he's having major issues with his WARM laptops downloading any kind of programming tools (VS, Github).

Let me split a hair here, the silicon is actually quite good on the x86 emulation front, the team didn’t forget everything they did at Apple but coupled with Windows it, well, ends up sucking. Actually that is a bit unfair, lets just say the end user device sucks and not apportion blame to any one part.
But while x86 emulation is largely a software task – it’s Prism that’s doing a lot of the heavy lifting – there are still certain hardware accommodations that Arm CPU vendors can make to improve x86 performance. And Qualcomm, for its part, has made these. The Oryon CPU cores have hardware assists in place to improve x86 floating point performance. And to address what’s arguably the elephant in the room, Oryon also has hardware accommodations for x86’s unique memory store architecture – something that’s widely considered to be one of Apple’s key advancements in achieving high x86 emulation performance on their own silicon.
It's not a successor - it's complementary. There is BOTH a pluton MCU and an ARM A7 PSP present on a 7840U (for example).Pluton is essentially a standardised successor to PSP.
You're not gonna JIT video games or really antique codebases.It's the fault of the software.

You know, fundamentally SDXE just seems like an alright chip. I mean the way I'm seeing it, it:
1. Should have higher ST and MT performance with the top end SKUs vs Phoenix, the most common SKU look to perform more in the same area on both ends.
2. Has a larger NPU than Phoenix
3. Can beat Phoenix and MTL on battery life.
But the fact that:
1. Microsoft and Qualcomm have both been hyping this thing for around a year now as almost an M1 moment for x86.
2. The iGPU didn't suck
3. Qualcomm didn't make claims it must have known would fall flat on it's face extremely quickly (see: every time they tried to compare their iGPU to Intel/AMD when in reality it's not even close to being competitive)
4. The like, year long delay bringing it to market
5. At least on these first devices from Acer and ASUS, battery life gains seem just OK vs existing x86 parts, rather than a revolutionary jump (this is the thing people were really expecting to completely trounce tye x86 dudes)
Has just really soured this launch.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon sounds pumped up just talking about it. “People are going to be incredibly surprised,” he told me, days before the company unveiled the chip at this week’s Snapdragon Summit event in Maui. “It’s the fastest CPU for a laptop, period. Period! It’s faster than anything Apple, anything AMD, anything Intel. But it’s also delivering performance that is faster than the fastest desktop gaming PC from AMD. It’s at the same level as some of the fastest CPUs you can buy from Intel for a gaming rig, one that is liquid-cooled. And we’re doing all of that in a laptop, in a battery-powered device.”
Why would x86 ever die on Windows platform? It’s an open ecosystem and it certainly won’t ever die on desktop.Yeah I'm canceling my lenovo order. The death of x86 is greatly overhyped.

For now at least, but I certainly don't see MS being in a rush to tether themselves to Qualcomm the same way they have been to Intel all these years.Why would x86 ever die on Windows platform? It’s an open ecosystem and it certainly won’t ever die on desktop.
Anything that isn't already ported to native ARM in five years probably is old enough and unmaintained that it won't be that much of a ballache to emulate anyway.In some hypothetical scenario where Cortex-X is 80% faster than present day in five years, and x86 has not budged, ARM starts to look awfully favorable even with the penalties of dynamic translation
yeah try, ughh, any video game. ever.Anything that isn't already ported to native ARM in five years probably is old enough and unmaintained that it won't be that much of a ballache to emulate anyway.
Dunno about that.yeah try, ughh, any video game. ever.
or some EDA stuff.
