    I like keeping tabs on it, as they’re really the only ones pushing mainstream high end ARM chips at the moment.

      Don’t forget about the new Snapdragon X series. I heard they were pretty good, on par and better than M3s.

        Hoping they have success, but to say that their laptop chips are truly mainstream, at least in the same sense that Apple gives, is a bit generous I feel.

        Obviously the X series has a decent shot at changing that, which I really hope it does.

        I only saw that claim in an article where they explained that those chips (Snapdragon) aren’t anything special. Apparently yet another case that a company uses misleading benchmarks.

        I would love something like that in a super small form factor, like a minipc (NUC, minisforum) or SBC (like RockPro64 size) so I could build a small home NAS with lots of power for home lab stuff.
