Are these the chips n Microsoft recent Surface arm launch? EDIT: to answer my own question, yes - it appears so. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/20/24160498/m

  It's not so much a recent launch as an ongoing launch, that has had a remarkably drawn-out timeline: Qualcomm announced the specs of the top-tier processors in October, then announced the lower-tier processors in April, then OEMs announced systems in May, but retail availability and delivery of pre-orders are still a week away (and presumably the embargo on the real product reviews expires sometime between now and the 18th). Qualcomm has clearly put careful planning into maximizing the publicity opportunities they can get out of a single product generation, and with an impressive degree of cooperation from OEMs, but it's really starting to look absurd considering that Apple has launched (announced and shipped) two processor generations in the same time frame (albeit the M4 is only in an iPad so far).
