"Qualcomm, Microsoft announce Snapdragon 835 PCs"

>>60699270
Good. x86 deserves to die. It's an unhealthy, uncompetitive market full of stagnation, antitrust breaches, and lack of growth.

>ARM
>on Windows
So you're trying to sell a product that doesn't have the one and only selling point of your platform, 3rd party software.
Thanks Microsoft for paving your own way to oblivion lol

>>60699437
It has a compatibility layer, dumbass.

>>60699490
How slow is it? Will I be able to run Photoshop and play Windows 95 pinball?

>>60699513
Yes you will be able to do those things. It seems pretty fast, it recompiles and stores the ARM version locally.

>x86 EMULATION (that's what the article says) on a mobile ARM chip
>guys check out that battery life tho!11

Let's sum it up. You pay through the nose for a device that has two modes:
>a heavily overpriced chromebook when using battery
>a heavily underpowered laptop when using AC
Sounds tight as fuck friend

>>60699550
It only has to do the translation to ARM once. It's like ART on Android.

>>60699550
The ARM CPUs in Chromebooks are bottom of the barrel tier garbage, not on the same level as a Snapdragon 835.

>>60699550
Obviously we should all just stick with Intel's Atom crap that they literally flooded the market with and still didn't manage to have an impact. Why do you think Microsoft and OEMs are even doing this in the first place?

>x86 monopoly is ending
>ARM monopoly is coming
I hope this doesn't mean we have to hunt "custom roms" whenever we want to install GNU/Linux

>no games

Sound like you are gobbling on x86 cock, my friend. Pic related, posting this post from an ARM machine right know.

>>60699944
ARM is an arch/instruction set, it can easily be part of an x86-like platform with a BIOS and etc.

There are x86 CPUs running Android that have the same lack of BIOS and etc. that most ARMs do.

>>60699968
If it has Microsoft's support, the games will come. Not like you game on an ultrabook anyway.

>>60699393
Oh yea, because ARM is so better, where Qualcomm rules everyone with an Iron fist.

If you used a free operating system you wouldn't have this issue

>>60700108
At least there's more than two companies on the planet making ARM CPUs. One of which is lazy and plays dirty, the other is barely holding on and still has a good chance of dying horribly.

>>60700020
We fight for the user.
Literally meme trash

>>60700140
Barely holding on.
I'm triggered

>>60700140
Reminds of early x86 days, so much so.. that it's history repeating itself and you are pulling your dick out to celebrate change.

>ARM desktops are coming
They've been around for 30 years.

>>60700163
You should be. If AMD dies, they're taking x86 down with them.

>>60700126
They do it for free

>>60699944
You missed the "RISC-V" bit in the OP. RISC-V is an open source hardware replacement for ARM. It just might turn out to be the final CPU architecture.

>>60700199
RISC-meme is still vaporware as far as I'm concerned.

>>60700175
>children
Sounds like ARM desktop manufacturers knows their target audience.

>>60700175
>Acorn
How come these things never really left Europe?

>>60700310
don't know, guess apple/IBM/commodore/et cetera were more established than acorn outside of europe, same reason amstrad and sinclair never really left europe
