Windows Arm PCs could be SO much better

Подробнее о видео

What's going on with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite 'Mac mini killer' Dev Kit?

I take a look at the current Windows on Arm landscape, and discuss what I think Microsoft and Qualcomm should do to make Snapdragon X truly 'Elite' among Arm platforms.

Some of the videos and resources I mentioned:

- Qualcomm Dev Kit Announcement:
- Qualcomm Dev Kit on Arrow:
- Ampere Altra Dev Platform:
- Level1Techs Microsoft/Qualcomm Dev Video:
- Box86 Compatibility List:
- ptitSeb's latest Box86 game demo video:
- Portal 2 bug with 128-core CPUs:
- Linux on Snapdragon X:
- Linaro's work on Linux for Snapdragon X:
- Charbax's video from Embedded World 2024:
- My previous video on gaming on the ADLINK Dev Workstation:

"Paid promotion" disclaimer: I was not paid anything to make this video, but some of the equipment I show in the video (namely, the ADLINK workstation and Ampere Altra Max CPU) were provided over a year ago with no obligations attached. I still like to disclose when I show any equipment I didn't personally pay for, because that lets you, the viewer, adjust for any potential bias that may come through.
