> All of the other cores from ARM or Qualcomm aren't as fast as the top Intel and AMD x86

I don’t think top cpu perf is relevant. I was working on some C code for science stuff inside Termux on a Pixel 7a, and would’ve been perfectly ok having that perf on a standard format laptop. I even noticed some branch prediction was better than x86. It’s more an issue that no one is making a decent arm in laptop format with nvme, enough ram etc.

I don't want this to come across as rude or condescending, but who hurt you?

Ha, I was benchmarking arm really, not writing from scratch.
