With the current state on Windows-on-ARM, most "normal" users won't see the difference. Gamers and pro's are the minority.

I won't buy Qualcomm until it will be supported on Linux, and let's see what will Nvidia deliver.

Has it gotten that much better? Because at launch, there was a lot of broken functionality with WoA for the Snapdragon laptops. Lack of drivers for external devices being one of the big issues.

Laughs in Nvidia Wouldn't be so sure. If the rumored specs are true, it beats out even the newest epyc cpus.

According to this ARM clearly wins over x86 in a few years: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/analyst-says-nvidia-poised-to-capture-two-thirds-of-the-x86-server-cpu-market-from-intel-and-amd-with-expected-usd20-billion-in-revenue-nvidia-is-already-on-track-to-deliver-4-million-vera-cpus-in-fy2027

Isn't that analyst just repeating what Nvidia said?

I don't think there will be a clearly delineated win state.

We'll likely have x86 and Arm chips side-by-side for many years to come.
