Qualcomm is also with TSMC and their newer 4nm processor is expected to stay competitive with the M series.
If the magic comes mostly from TSMC, there's a good chance for these claims to be true and to have a series of better chips coming on the other platforms as well.

- 0x457 2y agoDoes Qualcomm have any new CPU cores besides that one they can't make ARM due to licensing?

- stouset 2y ago“Stay” competitive implies they’ve been competitive. Which they haven’t. I’m filing this into the bin with all the other “This next Qualcomm chip will close the performance gap” claims made over the past decade. Maybe this time it’ll be true. I wouldn’t bet on it.
- makeitdouble 2y agoPoint taken. I used "stay" as in, their next rumored/leaked chip wouldn't be an single anomalous success but the start of a trend that could expand to the X2, X3 Elite chips coming after. Basically we'd need some basis to believe they'll be progressively improving at more or less the same pace as Intel's or Apple's chips to get on board with ARM laptops for Windows/linux. Otherwise I don't see software makers care enough to port their build to ARM as well.
