Qualcomm Takes on Apple: The Battle For Chip Speed
youtu.be
In this episode we dive into the how Qualcomm is looking to be a new challenger to both Apple and Intel. This was thanks in part to a purchase of the firm Nu...

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.

The impression I get is than these are for PCs and laptops

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.

    It’s interesting as a comparison to M3 now and at different power limits. I’m hoping it may hopefully benefit the asahi project also. As a windows product I don’t think it’ll be good at all unless Microsoft has a Rosetta like emulation layer that is nearly as good as Apple. Without that this product will not do well.

      Microsoft has a pretty good translation layer, it’s the hardware x86 acceleration that most windows ARM chips lack, that Apple’s CPUs have.
