https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/2691c773-ead4-4613-bc48-2fbb3ff616a9 What's going on with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite 'Mac mini killer' Dev Kit? I take a look at the current Windows on Arm landscape, and discuss what I think Microsoft and Qualcomm should do to make Snapdragon X truly 'Elite' among Arm platforms. Some of the videos and resources I mentioned: Qualcomm Dev Kit Announcement: https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2024/05/qualcomm-accelerates-development-for-copilot--pcs-with-snapdrago, Qualcomm Dev Kit on Arrow: https://www.arrow.com/en/products/c8380-12c-mp-32g/thundercomm, Ampere Altra Dev Platform: https://www.ipi.wiki/products/ampere-altra-developer-platform?variant=42970872053922, Level1Techs Microsoft/Qualcomm Dev Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKRmYW1D0S0, Box86 Compatibility List: https://box86.org/app/, ptitSeb's latest Box86 game demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVWkcusaGAg, Portal 2 bug with 128-core CPUs: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/portal2/issues/367, Linux on Snapdragon X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhfO1IDFMrQ, Linaro's work on Linux for Snapdragon X: https://www.linaro.org/blog/qualcomm-and-linaro-enable-latest-flagship-snapdragon-compute-soc/, Charbax's video from Embedded World 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEaGyCAS9fY, My previous video on gaming on the ADLINK Dev Workstation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=argfZlPZKdY, "Paid promotion" disclaimer: I was not paid anything to make this video, but some of the equipment I show in the video (namely, the ADLINK workstation and Ampere Altra Max CPU) were provided over a year ago with no obligations attached. I still like to disclose when I show any equipment I didn't personally pay for, because that lets you, the viewer, adjust for any potential bias that may come through.
