Windows with Qualcomm Snapdragon against Lunar Lake processor

[Samuro]

Windows PCs with Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM processors have recently appeared on the market.
ARM programs are supposed to run on them, and the old Windows x86 programs run automatically with an emulator.
Has anyone dared to buy one of these yet and does Second Life run on them, and how well ?

Most people are waiting anyway til september to buy a new PC because the new Intel processor "Lunar Lake" is coming.
This is Lunar Lake — Intel’s utterly overhauled AI laptop chip that ditches memory sticks

Many say that it will be a battle between the 2 systems to see which one prevails.

You are aware about that Intel right now is in big troubles, right? And the broken CPUs of the 13th and 14th generation they'ver sold to people? Sane people will buy AMD or Mac at the moment, but not Intel.

Intel is still nr 1 by far

You definitely miss to read the relevant news.

Intel is laying off over 15,000 employees and will stop ‘non-essential work’

That’s a lot of layoffs.

that's not relevant, every tech company fired 10% of its people lately.
What could be an existential threat for Intel (and AMD) on the low power laptop market is the coming out of Qualcomm Snapdragon. Microsoft is pushing that very very hard, they want to get rid of Intel or at least they don't want to be dependant anymore on a single processor provider.

Apple already got rid of Intel and they make their own chips now. If Microsoft does the same, then Intel and Amd are toast.

Read it again and realise the errors of your thinking. I'm out here.

well your link explains it, you didn't read ?
"Intel had to overhaul its flagship laptop chips significantly to address the existential threat of Arm chips from the likes of Qualcomm and Apple, which can offer more battery life than Intel. "

anyway, the purpose of my post here was curiosity : i wanted to see if anyone here already bought a PC with qualcom processor, they are on the market since a few months only, but very expensive too.
