Interesting that there are no E/little cores.

I don't think so. I would say they're not necessary for desktops, but not useless for them. Definitely welcome for laptops.

I'll believe it when I see it; how it runs all software, not just a random benchmark. The price-performance ratio matters a whole lot as well, of course. If it only relies on the iGPU, it will remove a big chunk of the audience, no matter how proud Qualcomm is of the iGPU. I'm sure lots of people will appreciate the battery lasting longer, though, if it really delivers. For many a business user, a laptop doesn't need to run more than a couple of applications properly to be perfect for the job on the road.

This is some exciting news for Windows ARM devices. Please bring 4k 120hz with HDR support for video output.

Will love to see em in action , but if they want wide adoption to rival x86 they would need a really good emulator that would run everyday applications adequate and crash the competition when it runs native coded applications!

Third party benchmarks and real-world prices will go a long way. I suspect some of the perf numbers are best case scenarios. Either way even if they used very optimistic numbers this looks like decent competition in the laptop space. Pretty cool.

they are "e"/little cores would be interesting to see compatibility with mGPUs, as if they are widely compatible it would be exciting in the laptop gaming arena
