    However, the Snapdragon X Elite is not too far off the M3 Pro, as Windows Latest highlighted. It’s running at about 80% of the speed of this Apple SoC

    Uhhh. 80% the speed of Apple’s second-tier laptop chip doesn’t sound impressive to me.

      If its $999 it will be a threat to a $3000 apple computer.

      Even better if it has linux support. Then it will become tech enthusiast candy.

      You forget the enterprise usage for Windows. Even Incremental gain is huge. With x86 emulation it definitely is a huge threat for apple.

      Though I am happy Apple did it first. Competition is great for consumers. We’d never have gotten a decent ARM PC if Apple didn’t rattle Microsoft’s cage.
