I guess Nvidia made many out there anxious to rush announcing new ARM SOCs for laptops and PCs.

I remember reading that those dev kits were very expensive.

Can I install Linux on ARM? Or should I say will there be any natively compiled Linux apps? Adobe will never support Linux that's for sure.

Leak benchmarks in click bite websites. This SoC win in some tests against today CPU's of AMD, intel and Apple. But maybe will lose from arrow lake, zen5 and m4?
Sorry wcckek.

Qualcomm, the grandfather of heterogeneous core design, has determined that a CPU with 12 equal cores is the best for a laptop, even a high-end (according to them) laptop. This should have some effect on future Intel designs too.

Oh yeah, plenty of distros support ARM these days. Ubuntu is probably the most mainstream version that supports ARM64 natively. I have 23.10 running flawlessly on an overclocked Raspberry Pi 4 8GB.

Ya think? Intel's P core is a brutal power hog.

Oh wait... an E core only design... I see what you did there :D E core XeSS... its happening ! Your calculations might get a bit blurry, but oh well

Yes. Intel just might concentrate more on better E-core design, and E-only laptop CPUs, if this SXE turns out to be really good, and grows a decent Windows/Linux/app ecosystem.

(SXE sounds more sexy than Snapdragon X Elite)

It's not that simple, you also need a compatible device tree since no ARM device I ever saw implemented a uefi or similar specification to interface with the os
