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.
You must log in or register to comment.
I'm just eager to know how much laptops will cost with the new Qualcomm chip. I don't want to pop champagne too early only to realize that new ARM laptops cost $2000.
New tech always comes at a cost, hopefully with the many manufacturers partnering with Qualcomm in this project we’ll have competitive pricing better than the current offering that Apple silicon provides.
Youre right, just like the first risc-v laptop which was more than 1k with awful performances. This will probably follow the M series trend at about 1,5k , but arm has a lot of competitors...
I hope for Microsoft to just give up and build a new "windows“ which is just an other Linux distro xD
Ducking windows can’t even clone the Linux kernel right now
Qualcomm is my main fear also. They will ship it with lots of closed source firmware digitally signed with their private keys which users can't replace so expect a shitty bootloader and don't forget about always running hypervisior, trust zone and world most kept secret modem
Would definitely upgrade to that instead of my current Lenovo. I want x86 to die already.
I don't wanna repeat myself, but: 7840u for the next few years, then I hope RISC V will be mature enough to kick some ass (and that framework releases a board for it).
That's all I dream of.
As long as memory and ssd are upgradable and not soldered on the board, I would buy this laptop
Even if we were thirsting over it, what's wrong with it? Apple makes some impressive silicon that's really efficient. The problem is that it's tied to their products and closed off. You can marvel at what they're doing on the production side while not liking their business practices.
Whatever you want to convince yourself of, bud. Never buying hardware from Apple ever.
