So I keep seeing these articles and videos about how Qualcomm made a CPU that can beat Apple’s M2 Max and even Intel’s i9 series. I wasn’t aware that Qualcomm was a player in the desktop CPU space. Does that mean we’ll soon be able to buy gaming laptops powered by Oryon CPUs? Will I be able to build a desktop PC with the Oryon CPU? I’ve only ever used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon CPUs which are for Android phones and definitely can’t compete with Apple’s laptop chips, so I’m not sure how their desktop lineup works.
Hijacking this thread, sorry OP. I just wonder why all ARM devices need a specific bootloader and a tailored OS imaged to install the OS. Not the case for x86, so I assume it has to do with the CPU extensions and such? Seems like the Cortex cores also support different ops from version to version.
