No lol, it's a higher power part with 12 chungus cores.Surface Pro with X Elite should be comparable to M3 MBA.
Yea.Do you know if Qualcomm X Elite will come with Memory-On-Package?
It starts in a Very Expensive Device.won't be available in any desirable device until 6 months
Hamoa successor is H1'26 on shelves so you'll be waiting for a whole eternity.And who knows what cadence Qualcomm has planned for its laptop SoCs.

8 years ago? Not necessarily. Even 1/2 years ago would have been fine.I mean Windows will always be married to x86, the slim chance was there but in those year Qualcomm half-***ed with puny chips that couldn’t even run Java minecraft.
Qualcomm should have done this seriously 8 years ago. Now it’s too late. Just cause it worked for Apple doesn’t it’s gonna work for WoA.
Grim.So if AMD and Intel managed M1 levels of standby and efficiency I don’t see how Qualcomm takes off. Only saving grace it’s coming 4 months early.
WoA effort started in late'17 with the first batch of 835 devices.8 years ago? Not necessarily.
Easier said than done lmao.Create an E-core
You can't.Accelerate development of next gen P-core (Pegasus)
You can not. Without killing people, that is.Accelerate development of Snapdragon X second generation.
Purva (scaled down Hamoa for mainstream) was a thing but idk if still is.Create multiple dies and SKUs to address different performance/price segments.
Phoenix is a weird example.If the benchmarks on GB6 are accurate it's not -much- better than Phoenix but the bigger GPU and more cores would be nice especially if it is doing that at lower power (as Qualcomm suggested).
Strix Point - if following the Phoenix pattern - won't be available in any desirable device until 6 months after it launches which is 4 months after it is announced. And who knows what cadence Qualcomm has planned for its laptop SoCs.
But it's not?It's the first time that AMD respun an APU for desktop under a different name since Carrizo -> Bristol Ridge in the Excavator era
The point I was making was about them doing a name change when they release it for desktop/AMx markets too, I can't recall AMD having done that since Bristol Ridge.But it's not?
Hawk is also on mobile.
But the name change is pretty much for mobile, isn't it?The point I was making was about them doing a name change when they release it for desktop/AMx markets too
Aren't those are usually just to offload previous gen silicon after new gen silicon has entered the market?No different from Lucienne or Barcelo or other AMD renamed refreshes.
Nope, they're the cheaper option.Aren't those are usually just to offload previous gen silicon after new gen silicon has entered the market?
It's also the cheaper option until KRK1 lands.The reasoning for Hawk seems more to give the impression of a Zen+ like stopgap before Zen5/Strix where none actually exists.
It's a byproduct of AMD realigning their client roadmap.Perhaps AMD are just playing market stability games to keep the stock holders happy.
Yea it does.Doesn't matter how good (performant/efficient) Intel and AMD's next gen offerings are,
Been like 6 years, still sub 1% PC MSS.WoA will continue to exist and grow.
None of note, WoA is a delusional MS affair, and boy do they have many others.The question is how much marketshare it will have (vs Windows x86), and who will be WoA's most succesful hardware supplier (Qualcomm? Nvidia? Mediatek? Samsung?)
That's the problem with a closed source OS, however. If Microsoft gives up at some point then it's over. Really how much do they even care about Windows other than as a source of data collection for their new AI garbage future. Will they even pay to develop AVX2 support?WoA will continue to exist and grow
