The first generation M1 series processors have enabled apple to open up a new track in the PC market, and M2 has also made a fresh debut on the just concluded WWDC. Compared with M1, CPU, GPU and NPU have all achieved double-digit growth. Apple also compared the M2 with the Intel x86 processor it had previously used. In scenes such as video cutting and image rendering, it showed outstanding advantages in energy efficiency.

In fact, under the arm system, there is another manufacturer eyeing PC, that is Qualcomm. In an interview, Qualcomm CEO anmeng said that the company's goal is to establish leadership in PC processors**
It is understood that the guy who doesn't pay attention to M2 is the chip being developed by Qualcomm nuvia team and Apple The idea is the same, only the arm instruction set is used, and the kernel architecture is completely written by ourselves, which is no longer a public version of magic change.
Previously, Qualcomm made windows On ARM products are not very successful, and the market response of Xiaolong 835/850/8cx is mediocre. Anmeng also seems to understand that the problem lies in the software side. He stressed that thanks to Apple's promotion of arm software development ecology, Microsoft is also actively following up on this work.
For Qualcomm nuvia PC processors, the only embarrassment now is that we have to wait at least more than a year for it to come out at the end of next year.
