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.
simple ( @simple@lemm.ee ) English57•8 months agoI’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.
suoko ( @Suoko@feddit.it ) 3•8 months agoYoure 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…
Petter1 ( @Petter1@lemm.ee ) 19•8 months agoI 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
V ( @vanderbilt@beehaw.org ) English8•8 months agoIIRC Microsoft’s woes in the ARM space is two-fold. First is the crushing legacy compatibility and inability to muster developers around anything newer than win32, and second was signing a deal to make Qualcomm the exclusive ARM processors for Windows for who knows how long.
the_lone_wolf ( @the_lone_wolf@lemmy.ml ) 4•8 months agoDeal is going to expire in 2024!
👁️👄👁️ ( @mojo@lemm.ee ) English15•8 months agoWould definitely upgrade to that instead of my current Lenovo. I want x86 to die already.
kingthrillgore ( @KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml ) 15•8 months agoQualcomm you say?
I’ll believe it when it ships
the_lone_wolf ( @the_lone_wolf@lemmy.ml ) 12•8 months agoQualcomm 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

happyhippo ( @happyhippo@feddit.it ) 8•8 months agoI 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.
HurlingDurling ( @HurlingDurling@lemm.ee ) English6•8 months agoAs long as memory and ssd are upgradable and not soldered on the board, I would buy this laptop
VCTRN ( @victron@programming.dev ) English2•8 months agoI see Linux users still thirsting over apple hardware
CafecitoHippo ( @CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee ) English13•8 months agoEven 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.
onlinepersona ( @onlinepersona@programming.dev ) English6•8 months agoWhatever you want to convince yourself of, bud. Never buying hardware from Apple ever.
Horsey ( @Horsey@kbin.social ) 2•8 months agoI can’t wait for the hardware Android continuity… that’s the only thing I’m waiting on now to switch to Android besides the raw performance being equal.
