Qualcomm Takes on Apple: The Battle For Chip Speed
youtu.be
In this episode we dive into the how Qualcomm is looking to be a new challenger to both Apple and Intel. This was thanks in part to a purchase of the firm Nu...

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.

    Buying? Nope

    Wishing I had that M1 CPU? Hell yeah

        Because anyone who works at the assembly level tends to think that the x86_64 ISA is garbage.

        To be fair, aarch64 is also garbage. But it’s less smelly garbage.

        That being said, I’m not expecting any of these CPUs to be hanging in the Sistine Chapel. So whatever works, I guess.

        Apple components work faster because they are welded together to the motherboard. You can’t cheat physics.
