Yes why is nobody talking about the leaked slide I posted?
Let’s say that Qualcomm makes a hardware-competitive product to Apple’s, what about the software side? They depend on the slow and sluggish Microsoft, and it will take a lot of time for it to be at 50% level of macOS, Apple is engaged in the whole design of both hardware and software, and Qualcomm can’t compete with them.
People reported WinARM running in Parallels on ARM Macs was a pretty good experience, then if Qualcomm is as good, it should be at least as good, probably better because it will be native, not running in Parallels.
They where using gold@Gerard Williams @John Bruno
Now that Qualcomm is entering the PC space, what will be their Team colour?
Intel = Team Blue
AMD = Team Red
Nvidia = Team Green
Qualcomm = ??
Exactly.People reported WinARM running in Parallels on ARM Macs was a pretty good experience, then if Qualcomm is as good, it should be at least as good, probably better because it will be native, not running in Parallels.
*The problem is software sided - namely a lack of attractive native big name apps on the platform.Exactly.
The problem of performance is not software-sided, is the hardware that is generations behind.
We've got someone around here using the username "John Carmack" so you never know (no I don't think he's the real John Carmack). And at one point we had JonnyGuru. So you know, maybe.
If it is them I hope they're careful about what they post here, because getting in trouble with the boss on our account would not be fun.
I suggest you tune into the Snapdragon Summit 2023 keynotes tomorrow and Wednesday.Can you tease geekbench score or spec17 ?
Yep. Quite excited. I want a windows Laptop that can last days.Ready for Snapdragon Summit 2023?

Have to agree for this one. for the traveling upper management crowd that uses email, chat/meeting app and power point 99% of the time, this seems like a good device.That is big differentiator tho. Try buying "any" >=LTE modem equipped laptops and you will see why. And in the past even the ones that had such addon modems sometimes had nasty problems with drivers.
Having 1st party modem in SoC is big deal. If Microsoft can take care of compat for x64 business apps, "peak" perf will not matter that much.
Indeed. Aside my VMs stuff, most of my work is done with browser, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. If those perform, basic is there.Have to agree for this one. for the traveling upper management crowd that uses email, chat/meeting app and power point 99% of the time, this seems like a good device.
Most people don't want or need a modem in their laptop. That's just signing you up for another contract with the phone company, which will cost you hundreds of dollars over time. WiFi works for the majority of use cases.That is big differentiator tho. Try buying "any" >=LTE modem equipped laptops and you will see why.

Depend with country, nowadays 5G is used as broadband and you can get unlimited packages for cheap.Most people don't want or need a modem in their laptop.

AMD must be using Jim Keller's ARM design to iterate upon for their M3 killer. I think there's a very real possibility that it will be the first ARM SoC to come with a huge V-cache as standard.
We have Chips and Cheese, though.Dayum. It's spicy times for CPUs.
It's my great sorrow😥 that we will not have great reviews of these CPUs like the ones Dr. Ian Cutress and Andrei Frumusanu did in their time at Anandtech.
I haven't read them much, but it seems to me they are still not testing and writing at the scale the old Anandtech did.We have Chips and Cheese, though.
Finland. Cheap unlimited mobile data has been a thing here since 3G. This is a large country for 5M but mobile network covers pretty much the whole country. It makes much sense to use that since they aren't going to build fibre network to your summer cottage for free.Where ? I'd like to know....
In Germany it's the exact opposite, unlimited mobile data still doesn't exist and metered mobile data is still very expensive. Some packages get "cheaper" including "luxurious" included mobile data like 6GB per months. At the current rate the availability and coverage of free WiFi by cities and states is spreading faster than cheaper mobile data here.Cheap unlimited mobile data has been a thing
Currently I pay 17,90 € / month (inc. 24 % VAT) and it includes unlimited messages, calls and 4G data up to 150 Mbit/s. Generally speaking, the more you pay the better speeds you get.In Germany it's the exact opposite, unlimited mobile data still doesn't exist and metered mobile data is still very expensive.
