However, the Snapdragon X Elite is not too far off the M3 Pro, as Windows Latest highlighted. It’s running at about 80% of the speed of this Apple SoC

Uhhh. 80% the speed of Apple's second-tier laptop chip doesn't sound impressive to me.

You forget the enterprise usage for Windows. Even Incremental gain is huge. With x86 emulation it definitely is a huge threat for apple.

Though I am happy Apple did it first. Competition is great for consumers. We'd never have gotten a decent ARM PC if Apple didn't rattle Microsoft's cage.

what's the obsession with ARM? it's just cool right now because Apple did it. But amd64 is just fine.

Less battery usage, no need for fans for the same or better performance... ARM is a solid upgrade to PC architecture.
