Call it what you want, but for the consumers, this is a massive win. Just like back in the days with x86, Intel kept releasing overpriced garbage without any competition, is what Qualcomm are doing today with ARMv8

That's what I meant. Competition is always good for the consumers. did you think I was being sarcastic? This is amazing development
Maybe Apple finally loses the performance crown?
In some way, they already have, no?
Its why people eant that contract with qualcomm and microsoft to expire.
Albeit also bad for the future market, Nvidia is already itching to unseat x86 and qualcomm on pc if it can. (Part of the reason why the Nvidia buyout of Arm had to be stopped)
Honestly, if it had good drivers and proper UEFI support, I would use a laptop with a Mediatek CPU. Most of my workflow is either web-based or already supports ARM.
Bad custom ROM support = Bad processor
Only a very small subset of consumers care about custom rom support
