Jeremy has been writing about technology and PCs since the 90nm Netburst era (Google it!) and enjoys nothing more than a serious dissertation on the finer points of monitor input lag and overshoot followed by a forensic examination of advanced lithography. Or maybe he just likes machines that go “ping!” He also has a thing for tennis and cars.
If that's true, it's quite an achievement, albeit not totally unprecedented. Apple pulled off something similar with its jump from x86 to own in-house Arm silicon via the Rosetta 2 translation layer.
Speaking of which, Qualcomm has been showing off the new chip this week and some new benchmark data has emerged.

Is Qualcomm really going to have competitive driver performance? Is it really going to have day zero driver's for new games? Anyway, you get the idea. When you consider the combination of both emulation and driver quality, there's an awful lot yet to be proven when it comes to actual game performance.
Of course, for gaming the holy grail would be using a powerful add-in GPU with the Qualcomm CPU. There's no indication, for now, whether we're likely to see, for instance, a Snapdragon X Elite laptop with an Nvidia RTX 4080 mobile GPU. That would be the real test of Qualcomm's emulation prowess. All Qualcomm will say for now on that note is that it's possible to use discrete graphics with Snapdragon X Elite.

Glasgow woman has arm tissue used to fill hole in throat after battling rare cancerA Glasgow woman had skin and muscle tissue removed from her left arm to fill a hole in her throat after she successfully battled a rare cancer. Victoria Christie noticed a lump in her mouth begin to grow and change colour. The 29-year-old visited the doctor in August last year and had two biopsies. However, medical experts were still uncertain about the lump. The Pollok woman was eventually diagnosed in January with a salivary gland tumour, which is a rare form of cancer. It is believed that only 720 people are diagnosed with the condition each year in the UK.
