Fundamentally, I'm not sure Qualcomm is the brand I'd trust to lead the world off of x86.
I understand nobody actually likes Qualcomm products in the cellular space, but they're stuck with them due to patent minefields. That's not really a great vibe to bring in when trying to compete against known-quantity x86 vendors.
I figured we'd see homogenous CPUs-- either in the same socket or as an addon module, so you can cast off some stuff to ARM or RISC-V but keep big x86 for games and heavy closed-source software, then flip to RISC-V main with x86 addon cards, and finally emulation.
Sort of thinking about a Pinetab-V, but even the flaky, doesn't suspend right 20% of the time, wigi was weird on every OS except OpenBSD, Ryzen 2700U it would replace demolishes it. The Lichee Console looked neat with the EEE PC sizing and Trackpoint, but it's way pricier.
