Qualcomm Snapdragon X "Copilot+" AI PCs Only Accounted for 0.3% of PassMark Benchmark Runs

Bunch of assumptions and guesses there but no data. I'll stick with the data and we'll see how it goes over the next 6 months or so.

I don't think it'll proceed very quickly because WOA doesn't have the money behind it that Apple did for the transitions you mention but you can also use Apple to argue just the opposite: The transition from OS 9 to OS X was very slow in penetration and happened while Apple was at an ebb and many saw bankruptcy looming. All the decks were stacked against success. I certainly didn't think they were gonna go anywhere and it took a long time before they did. But they did.

I mean the data right now is bad - that's the point. It's certainly missed expectations at an OEM that knows the data.... I think 6 months is a bit soon - end of 2025 when they release v2 I think it has a good chance, but the initial release was way overhyped.

And what data is even there? Passmark benchmark data isn't an indicative of market share or anything.

The entire point was that the data was bad and it could be skewed. I did say it could have been skewed above, but there might also be arguments that it also could have biased downwards, i.e. there are more Snapdragons laptops being sold(as a marketshare) than what is being shown.
 
If my phone's browser could leverage AI to adjust bright assed TPU benchmark images to a dark theme it would make AI on mobile useful to me.
 
While Microsoft and Qualcomm will be pushing AI in marketing, many consumers will be going in the store asking simply for a windows laptop with the best battery life. Many of them will be ending with an ARM based laptop at hand.
AI marketing affects as mostly, by breaking our nerves for now, but it might sell to typical consumers who will be amazed by it, even not knowing what exactly is.

Another thing I remembered from a Linus sponsored review is the quality of the webcam on ARM based laptops. That could also sell a few.
Consumers today don't bother buying nicer computers with better webcams. Why would it be a selling point for ARM?
