Why are you laughing? Last's year's Apple chip was as powerful as the chip in the Macbook Air:

I'm also a bit skeptical about the emulation part, but if it's less than 10% overhead out of the gate, it should be okay, and I assume Microsoft could continue to optimize it over the years.

Apple's chip. Not Qualcomm's. That's what he/she is laughing about.
