  • Ok, first of all, you need to chill, the CPU is planned to be released mid 2024, and as such, we obviously cannot answer a lot of your questions.

    What we can say is that Qualcomm has been a player in the “windows on ARM” approach. Easily the biggest player there, in fact.

    Qualcomm’s goal is to eventually be able to run windows, and as such, “any” windows compatible application. We do not know how fast it will be yet, we do not know enough to do anything more than guesswork.

    Both this and previous Qualcomm SOCs are based on ARM work, which in that regard makes them just like the Apple M1 and M2.

    So, in short, hold your horses, calm down, and we might start getting answers to your questions around June next year. Also, do take into consideration that a lot of the issues with performance are constrained also by thermal and power limitations.

    Oh, and also related to this, given that they have not given us what metrics they will be beating those CPUs, and what I9 in question will be beaten, we can’t even guesstimate things. Are they comparing it to an i9 9900T with 35 watts TDP? Or an 19 13900KS with 150 watts TDP? The performance of these two I9s (obvously) differs by a lot…

    One question that we can answer, however, is this:

    Will I be able to build a desktop PC with the Oryon CPU?

    Most likely not, the approach they have had in the past and that are predicted are that these will mostly be in prebuilt OEM laptops.
