I am already impressed. Supports 3 monitors, removable SSD and Vulcan support.Let's wait for the benchmarks before we all become incontinent with uncontrollable excitement
I'll be impressed if I can play Virtua Tennis on a WoA laptop for 2 hours straight and have the battery drain only about 25%.
Also DX9, DX11, OpenCL, OpenGLI am already impressed. Supports 3 monitors, removable SSD and Vulcan support.
Wait... the heck does removable ssd have to do with the SoC?I am already impressed. Supports 3 monitors, removable SSD and Vulcan support.

Snapdragon X Elite can run games almost as well as x86.
Qualcomm says most Windows games should “just work” on its unannounced Arm laptops
How well will they run, though?www.theverge.com
They are supporting all the graphics APIs!!!

I am just stating the design differences. None of Apples M laptops have a removable SSD.Wait... the heck does removable ssd have to do with the SoC?
Raptor Lake is sticking around for a while on the low end, ARL is more of a MTL replacement and LNL is it's own product category pretty much, will be the mainstay for most premium ultrabooks.No not MTL but Alder Lake. And later in 2025 Arrow lake and Lunar Lake.
Mostly businesses that have them.
It means you can use it for more than 10 years. 20 even. At work, I'm still using a Core i5-2400 released in 2011. Would not have been possble without upgradable storage. It works plenty fine for my daily needs.Wait... the heck does removable ssd have to do with the SoC?

8s Gen 3 and 7+ Gen 3 are one die.This CPU and the 8s Gen3 are they the same exact die as 8 Gen3? but parts are fused off to create segmentation?
Or some kind of software lock?
Apple did it because...well they are Apple! They directly integrated the SSD controllers to the M chips. I don't think we were expecting Qualcomm to do the same. Qualcomm is competing in the PC industry; Soldered storage would be deeply unpopular and they'd get roasted for it (rightfully so).I am just stating the design differences. None of Apples M laptops have a removable SSD.
One other reason that I can think of is they own Anobit and their technology enables NAND to last longer than the typical flash controller. But they could have still done something modular with a high speed interface. Seems they decided to go for the lazy and greedy way of doing storage.Apple did it because...well they are Apple!
Was this confirmed?8s Gen 3 and 7+ Gen 3 are one die.
8 Gen 3 is another die.
So, if you think you don't want a Windows on Arm device because of what you've heard about the platform before, just wait and give it another chance. Microsoft's goal this year is for Windows on Arm to become normalized in the PC space, with end-users not really able to tell the difference between either Intel or Arm performance and compatibility.
We'll see. It should launch still being compared to Phoenix and MTL which it should beat. But it'll have to compete with Strix Point and LNL too.I think if X Elite is anywhere near what Qualcomm is hyping, x86 is going to be in trouble. I cant see x86 matching Arm custom cores in efficiency.
I saw this image but quality was low, 8 gen 3 has only 2 A520 or had 4 and 2 was disabled?Not by Qualcomm themselves, but it seems to be the consensus among tech leakers and watchers.

And here's the 8 Gen 3!
Only 2, looks likeI saw this image but quality was low, 8 gen 3 has only 2 A520 or had 4 and 2 was disabled?
Actually what's unexpected about it is that they're at all going in on premium Arm chips. They haven't even done that for AMD. It's expected that they'll have a different branch, given XPS is so heavily saddled with Intel's engineering efforts, yes, but you're missing why he posted that.There's nothing unexpected about that.
Dell are somewhat like Asus in that they produce mobos (proprietary form factor), but only as part of a fully integrated solution like Apple products.
They go the full hog with the case, and bundle the OS/software bundle too, aswell as provide tech support to their customers.
You could say that Dell and other OEMs like them (Acer, MSI etc) are the Apple's of the non Windows PC world.
Albeit I believe that most of Dell's sales are from businesses and education rather than consumers.
Given the possibility of Cortex X5 onward being very competitive with Oryon though, I wouldn't be surprised if their initial partnership with QC shifts to a custom chip of their own merely using QC modems* - this is an option that was not previously open to them in the x86 world, and I can only imagine that they are salivating over it.
*assuming the customer wants cell modems that is, if they don't there is no reason to stick with QC at all, as plenty others do wifi and bluetooth, which gives lots of options for SKUs to suit all needs.

Aha!I may or may not have recently seen it in action (I can neither confirm nor deny).
Performance, Efficiency, Compatibility....It performs well, but this chip is all over the place in terms of benchmarks. It is definitely not x86 and it shows. It will win some and lose some. As an end user you probably won’t notice, but the performance profile is VERY different.
Compatibility is good, not great. Better than the last time I played with WoA.
No idea on efficiency beyond what has been shown.
Don’t get me wrong, I am impressed. Much more polished than I imagined.
Could you elaborate what means?Qualcomm does have an AMD problem, however. A big one. Holy Moly Lisa Su, what are you doing?
