QuoteWhat is Qualcomm hiding and why? Lets start out with the why side, it is easier. The x86 emulation sucks and they know it. Since x86 compatibility is a key marketing message from both players, they want you to believe your software will just run, they have to hide this failing at all costs. Let me split a hair here, the silicon is actually quite good on the x86 emulation front, the team didn't forget everything they did at Apple but coupled with Windows it, well, ends up sucking. Actually that is a bit unfair, lets just say the end user device sucks and not apportion blame to any one part.
When questioned, Qualcomm spokespeople will fall back to to a talking point about apps that they have tweaked/validated/worked on and those run fine, fast-ish, and without hiccups. This is true but that list is mighty short and chances you have a few apps that will blow up. Games, well, again they go back to casual games running fine which they probably do. Real games don't and most non-tweaked games don't either, casual or not. Qualcomm knows this and they are desperate to hide it.
QuoteAnd don't get me started on drivers. Got any hardware that isn't brand new? A printer bought during Covid perhaps? Scanners? Low level tools? Antivirus/antimalware? Got a game with an anti-cheat thread? VPN? This stuff WILL break on the Qualcomm ARM PCs unless they have tweaked it and chances are they haven't. And won't. These companies are desperate for this knowledge to not get out, and they are making sure it doesn't by making sure only tame reviewers and fluffy youtubers get devices. Even they they won't have time to dig in to the defects they do find.
This is all to back the official message of fast and compatible, one of which is kinda true. Compatibility is not good enough, games break on the consumer side and corporate apps are hit and miss. Worse yet there wasn't a single mention of remote management since the November 2023 reveal. If you actually test the product you will find this out and possibly write it up before the official message has a chance to be repeated enough to 'become truth'. Don't believe the hype.
