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.
That’s absolutely not true. Intel and AMD both have chips that outperform the M3. The Ryzen 9 7945HX3D for example is a laptop processor which outperforms the M3 on nearly all benchmarks - single core and multi core - and uses only a slightly more power (about 15%).
