Snapdragon X2 Elite is HERE - 2X Faster Than the M5 MacBook Air

Just when x86 had got their arse kicked by new Macbooks, here is Qualcomm with their new shot. Looks awesome to me.
Time to wake up for AMD/Intel. AI bubble is going to kill them, when it pops.
Their price gouging with Gorgon Point is disgusting.\ For a rebadge of already insanely priced Strix.\ And to add insult to injury, they had the gall to overmark their new "models" as as being more premium than last gen.
This has to change NOW. I wonder how long before ARM (and perhaps RISC-V) does it on desktop, too ?

Would heavily consider buying this if it ran Linux but Qualcomm seems to not care at all. The community would even be willing to write the drivers if they helped out a bit
gumol@reddit
what benchmark is 2x faster?
bazhvn@reddit
Probably CPU MT bench since X2E basically has an Mx Pro CPU competitor coupled with normal Mx class GPU

I hope they will give proper linux support this time.
