Hacker News with Generative AI: ARM

First Impressions: Lenovo T14s with Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM64 CPU (freebsd.org)
Those of you how know me, know that I am not a big fan of the X86 architecture, which I think is a bad mess, mangled by market power considerations, rather than the CPU architecture this world actually needs, in particular in terms of performance/energy ratio.

Ask HN: Could Qualcomm Buy Intel? (ycombinator.com)
I saw this floating around. Unsure if it’s serious. Seems like it would be a huge win for Qualcomm: they’d get fabs, all the x86 IP (or maybe that’d have to be spun out), system integrator know how for use with Qualcomm’s ARM stuff, networking, etc etc. all of this would help them with their VMWare side: maybe they go the HP route with green lake and ship the hardware with the software a la Sun Microsystems?
