I hope Linux support for these chips matures quickly. Qualcomm's laptop chips are the only serious competitor to Apple's M-series in single core performance and power efficiency. Intel and AMD are both far behind.

I hope not just Linux support for these chips matures - but that the rest of the fabless chip vendors get a leg up as well, because .. The world needs non-Apple/-Qualcomm variants of this hardware architecture, imho.

Pretty darn quick.

Yes! But these are rebadged 5 year old chips.
8cx Gen 3? That's the same SOC in the Thinkpad 13s we've had in a bit, so pretty promising.
