YUKI93, 10 Feb 2023I really cannot wait for the external GPU support. It'... moreARM SoC actually already have a onboard GPU

The mobile version Snapdragon 8 gen 2
Has a adreno GPU

It's about equal too a desktops gtx 1050/gtx1630

The Snapdragon processor here similar performance maybe little better as its a desktop arm soc

The mobile arm soc are actually CPU bottleneck at 1080p

E-gpu support
Definitely worth checking if it's worth it and will benefit performance

So interesting stuff I found out from geekerman YouTube channel

          there's no way ARM can handle that much load

            YUKI93, 10 Feb 2023Unlike Apple, which forces all its macOS users to go ARM on... moreMicrosoft has reworked successfully the code for ARM architecture but there is no compatibility with x86 or x64 Intel, the current virtual machines do not allow to mix the Intel architecture with ARM besides on mobile small tablets like less than 12 inches and Windows interface design is not suitable for small mobile devices because its layout user interface was designed for mouse. So you will not see a success with Windows OS on phones and small finger touch tablets.

              Anonymous, 09 Feb 2023To be honest I want an ARM based Windows laptop that's... moreUnlike Apple, which forces all its macOS users to go ARM only, Microsoft still values the existence of x86 software. After all, there are loads of sectors that still rely on older x86 software. Even a private specialist hospital nearby my home still uses Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11 for patient databases and health updates. Microsoft could have gone for a similar route as Apple, but they don't because reworking x86 software for ARM is far from quick and easy.

                I really cannot wait for the external GPU support. It's about time we see it on Windows laptops or tablets with ARM SoC. At this point, I don't think I'll be buying any Windows ARM laptop or tablet until the 8cx Gen 4 has been officially launched.

                  So like Iphone 15 Ultra pro max will be powered by M2 Pro chip used in their laptops we can see something in phones maybe.

Plus change ... moreYou guys really don't know about Gerard Williams III who currently works in Qualcomm under Nuvia. He is the founder of Nuvia and the ex employee of apple and he wasn't just any normal employee go to his LinkedIn page he was the project HEAD of All the latest apple cpu cores and also THE project head from apple A8 to A14 to M1, M1 max and M1 ultra. He is the one who brought the M1 revolution in apple. He is so dangerous that apple Sued him when he resigned from there after working for 8+ years because they were scared that he may go to rival companies.

                      Use employees that originally came from Apple? Plus change name yet again for hype?

                      Better be good, else it means those employees are rejects from Apple...

                        Will it have WiFi 6 or 7 and laptops with Gigabit LAN?

But a 12 core SoC with horsepower as potent as the 740 Adreno sounds very promising. I hope it does well

                              HopeFilledIdiot, 09 Feb 2023Sounds interesting. Not sure why people here think it'... moreTo be honest I want an ARM based Windows laptop that's going to be a battery beast but 2 things hold it back. Windows isn't that well made/optimized for ARM64 and the SoCs need more horsepower/optimization to run the OS and the emulated X86/X64 programs.
                              While apple which is making the OS and designs its own hardware and SoC it's on a much better situation. I may even go for a MacBook at the end!
                              *Until recently Linux support on the Snapdragon 8cx line wasn't that good.

                                Sounds interesting. Not sure why people here think it's gonna fail
