Hi Gary I'm looking forward to your review. I'm very interested in Prism as well. How well will it handle 32bit and 64bit apps. I hope you get the Surface Pro so that you can compare it with the M4 iPad Pro. What is the real world battery life? Do 12 big cores provide the same efficiency of big.Little? Is there need for active cooling? How bad does it throttle the performance due to thermals? How well does it supports 3 displays? Does it support Thunderbolt 3 via the USB4 ports? What about eGPUs?

Hi Gary, Once you're done with the windows, please shed some light on linux compatibility / roadmap. When can we expect these arm powered machines to run mainstream linux distributions out of the box? Since linux (asahi) still doesn't completely work with the new apple silicon machines, can we see faster transition in case of Qualcomm?

I'm an architect. I use AutoCAD. I'm wondering how AutoCAD would perform on emulation.

Agree with your comment: Power effciiency to performance ratio for "like-for-like" comparison at least in that direction and the Emulation performance are the most interesting features of the new chip, especially seen a lot of commentary about the latter from interested people. Very interested personally in the ongoing adoption and long-term deeper penetration of AI into computers and abstraction layer that that leads to for human interaction with computers.

I hope ARM PCs will be a thing sooner than later. I would love to build one

Are you going to purchase the Mac mini style $899 dev computer from Qualcomm?

If you'll be testing these new ARM Copilot+ PCs, can you please share your thoughts on the Copilot Recall feature once that becomes available? This seems to be a controversial topic at this moment

What is the point of buying these arm devices when you want to particularly run x86 applications on them. They will obviously not run well as its is inefficient process to translate arm instructions to x86

Windows garbage!! M3 Max MacBook Pro easily beats that garbage, now imagine how it will be blown away out of the water with the upcoming M4 Pro and Max

Gary Explains
So the new Copilot+ PCs (based on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite/Plus processors) are available for pre-order today and will be available on June 18th. That is about 4 weeks from now. I am particularly interested in the new Prism x86 emulator, as well as the performance/power efficiency. Let the testing begin!
