>with the latest Ryzen is faster and gets similar battery life than the M1 or M2, so I wouldn't call x86 dead yet.
Mind you, even "as fast as M1" would look amazing compared to Qualcomm's mediocre chips. Those who talk of ARM superiority forgot that if you don't buy an Apple device, what you get is mediocrity. And that's just talking of CPU performance. If you need a real GPU, those qualcomm SOC drop from "bearable" to "absolute garbage". While the M1 and M2 have GPUs that are comparable to some of NVIDIA's mid range offerings.
ARM based windows PCs aren't really going to supplant x86 as long as Qualcomm doesn't put a real effort.
Qualcomm is also one of the manufacturers that makes it impossible for Android to be supported for as long as iOS. Closed drivers + no will to do long term support because they're happy to sell more e-waste = drivers won't work on newer linux kernels and what remains is a brick.
