There is literally no fucking reason for laptops not to have ARM processors by now...

There is literally no fucking reason for laptops not to have ARM processors by now, I'm not trying to code or run anything that requires a x86 from my shitty laptop, I just want to use it to shitpost and watch videos.
so why the fuck are there no energy efficient alternatives to all those meme workstations on the market?

apple and microsoft both have arm laptops

Good for you. In the real world, there are people who actually use their computers for real work, not as a Any Forums terminal.

apple is overpriced, I'm not throwing 1k on a laptop

This is why tablets with those dumb ass fancy keyboard attachments over 10" are so popular, while 8" mid sized tablets don't even exist. People hate full sized laptops so nmuch they'd rather buy a tablet with basically what is essentially a laptop latched onto it. I mean, at that point why not get a laptop? But nope.

and why's having a separate device a bad thing?
in most cases if you're traveling and wish to take your laptop with you you're not doing any work on it, so why have such an overkill machine just to do basic daily tasks

>There is literally no fucking reason for laptops not to have ARM processors by now
Yes there is
Microsoft's incompetence is single-handedly preventing it from happening widespread, where meanwhile Apple shipped Rosetta 2 WITHOUT making the performance of x86/x64 applications be the equivalent of the cheapest Intel Celeron processor on their highest end ARM SoC

Nobody needs the current computing power (but gaymers). That's why Microsoft and Apple keep making their OS as heavy as they can so you consume new products.

yeah sure, real work as in using teams and excel ?
you don't need a i7 laptop with 16gb of RAM on it to do that task.
And "real life work" is a meme, most people use their pc for nothing else than going on their web browser. That's why ChromeBooks exists

You’re literally replying to a fucking bot.

Acer mediatek Chromebook
513 is faster
514 is cheaper

Gaymers are unironically to blame

no one is playing games on laptops, stop being obsessed

I remember when smartphone companies were shilling ARM as the best thing since sliced bread. Telling us how all programs would be easy to port forward, instead of abandon, yet here we are, being given arbitrary reasons not to carry apps forward, apps that are two years old not being usable anymore on phones which only get more and more expensive as time goes on. All the fucking zoomers who want ARM everything can buy a tablet or chromebook and fuck off. We don't want your cucked processors, cucked operating systems, or subscription only software/app store only cuckoldry.

Thats not Microsoft, thats Qualcomm.
Apple's shit runs fine because they designed their own chips. Microsoft is forced to rely on a third party vendor.

ARM systems are shit. Can't extend RAM, upgrade CPU, switch GPU, etc.

The closest example is the Pinebook Pro and it's good but somewhat limited IIRC

>I’m not trying to code or run anything that requires x86
>thus there’s literally no fucking reason for laptops not to have ARM by now
Who are you

I'm the guy who buys all the laptops released every year

>Microsoft is forced
microsoft is a MIC asset, they can do whatever they want, but they don't because they are incompetent

why are you comparing 64 to 32? woudlnt a fairer comparison be x86 vs MIPS, ARM vs x64?

this honestly, why are they such a disgrace? despite having deep pockets they can't even bother to step up their R&D and design their own chips

I have no idea how Microsoft is going to figure out how to run older video games on ARM.
Will it be possible to have a motherboard with two different architectures, one for ARM and another for x86 to run older software? Emulating x86 on ARM isn’t exactly great.
Apple didn’t have this video games problem to solve, that’s why the transition was easy for them.

>ARM
it takes long enough to build a kernel or a new version of GCC on a 3700X, I don't have time to sit around for six hours while some dinky two-watt cuck CPU builds things for me.

they won't you stupid nigger gaymer, if you want to play your shitty games just go buy a x86, most well adjusted adults don't think about whether their laptop is going to play games or not when they're buying it

arm doesn't need old games when everything is being moved to web 4.0 where latency will be faster than framerate and companies can host their games entirely as subscription services on proprietary servers and you will own nothing

Video games are a huge market for Microsoft. We’ll see what they end up doing.

>why are they such a disgrace?
Microsoft is a cloneware company. The company became massively because Bill Gates lied to IBM about having an OS, stole someone else's OS and then shipped it.
They did the same to Apple, when they were paid to make software for the Mac, they instead reverse-engineered macOS and wrote their shoddy clone which eventually became Windows.
Like DOS, Windows PCs were cheap and had lots of games (that you could steal)
This is the only thing Microsoft knows how to do.

I didn't know Microsoft was this based

>latency
You basically need quantum internet for those services to work flawlessly, and that’s a long way to go.

i mean. thats exactly what microsoft should be focusing on. games at this point. like quite literally i moved everything to linux, except for gaming. i dedicated windows just for that one job entirely because i dont want gaming shit on linux where i have other things to do. so it's in ms's best interest to indulge gaming, windows is pretty much worthless for anything else and gaming really the last hope ms has, and they should grip onto it like drug addict grips to meth
but ms keep doing these stupid decisions like removing 16-bit app support, and now 32-bit app support where wine becomes more compatible with legacy shit than windows itself, why are they so stupid?

Intel are gay, AMD incompetent and Microsoft barely able to maintain a x86 OS

Get one of those shitty Celerons or basically any CPU with small cache and youre all set for being energy efficient, simple as.
Less cache -> less transistors -> less energy consumption.

What is x64

Because most software doesn't work on ARM.

Framework with a good spec config costs 1k. It's literally the only laptop that matters.

Your phone is an ARM laptop. Now fuck off.

No thanks, I like my CUDA and games. Blame Apple and ARM for burning bridges with Nvidia

the world would be better off without gamers

acorn risc machine can suck my cisc peen

nobody uses software anymore incel
we use apps now

There literally aren't any worthwhile alternatives to Apple's ARM chips. All of them are garbage.
But for your needs a chromebook will be enough.

there's nothing stopping some company from making motherboads with slot for ARM CPU

>There is literally no fucking reason for laptops not to have ARM processors by now
Not enough software support. Would be DOA.

Nobody cares about your opinions on business then poorfaggot.

Mobile OS's are more user-friendly. Tablets are more portable and durable.

ARM rooters only ever target a handful of devices to support, usually the easiest to root. The community would merely converge on the working options.

Lack of app backwards compatibility has nothing to do with the hardware, but the OS software. Jewgle keeps intentionally breaking its toolkits and apis between android releases.

> soon ARM stinkpads will come locked to winblows

Windows requires ACPI & UEFI, and almost every ARM64 Windows device can disable Secure Boot.

You‘ll be fine for Windows notebooks.

If AMD makes an ARM chip with x86 compatibility or a really efficient x86 SoC (which is possible, ISA isn't what breaks efficiency) I would buy it on the go.
People like to talk about upgradability, but SoCs have faster ram by default and they are a great way of future-proofing
ARM shouldn't be seen as a toy-processor, but it is. The only non-toy consumer ARM chips is the M series just because of the x86 (pseudo)compatibility built in

Let's throw gaymers under the bus
Letting them rot is already a win, the ARM innovation is a bonus

Emulating x86 on ARM is not too bad, the major enemies are DRM and anti cheat.

>There is literally no fucking reason
itoddlers are dumb fuck niggers: confirmed and witnessed

If I didn't want to run real software on my laptop, I wouldn't be using a laptop.

you dumb niggers on this board have very little understanding of how CPUs are designed and built. AMD should build an ARM chip and then try to get it x86 compatible? this retard nigger logic is embarrassing. no, dumbfuck nigger. a corporation like AMD isn't going to make an ARM CPU and then try to make it compatible with x86. even apple couldn't do that. apple have had to resort to software emulation. do you niggers even know how a CPU actually functions or regurgitating things you saw on reddit or is this the best that Any Forums can hope for?

okay, but who the fuck needs all that performance from a laptop? those are either gaymers or people with some fringe professions.
most people do not fucking need all of that computing power, it's just a pointless drain on battery

>okay, but who the fuck needs all that performance from a laptop?
everyone. why should people people pay $2k for a itoddler device that can't even compete at any level of an x86 machine? if you're into producing child porn, using facebook and general web browsing then by all means: buy a mac. real computer users aren't going to waste their money on itoddler cancer because pedophiles from apple's marketing team want to break 20% total marketshare while offering nothing in return.

that shows a 1:1 performance per core ratio between x86 and arm

fuck youre retarded

>that shows a 1:1 performance per core ratio between x86 and arm
>absolutely illiterate
you failed math and english? amazing, ijeet. not even close to 1:1 ratio, ijeet mohammad. you delusional child molesters see what you want to see. i'm sure in your meth soaked pedo mind that the m1 ultra is on top the list!

x86 is a pointless drain on battery. Seriously, it’s embarrassing how bad x86 power consumption is.

> oh noes! muh battery!
i think most people would rather have a powerful computer that eats slightly more battery time than being stuck with a itoddler device that struggles to run games at more than 30fps.

>you want an ARM laptop? that must mean you're an itoddler who wishes to pay 2k for a device
unironically kill yourself

nobody is interested in your idevices for child rapists. seethe harder. it will always be like this, and you will always be treated like a low iq nigger monkey.

>coding requires x86
wut

you'd be wrong, most people want their laptops to have decent battery and do basic tasks
>MUH GAMES
You niggers should be rounded up and shot

Any Forums Any Forums neckbeards? Sure.
The real world? No one cares that much about gaming, especially on a notebook. Battery life is king there.

>apple have had to resort to software emulation.
Thats confirmed not true, they have x86 instruction set built in for a better experience, why would you think rosetta 2 beats every x86 emulation in performance?
If you know so much about CPUs perhaps you should think for a second instead of larping as Terry Davis

why do you need a laptop for watching videos
get a fucking ipad
if you want a laptop with arm there’s shit windows laptops that have arm processors. if you want something good with arm get a mac

It’s not built in, they use some hardware features like TSO and FAZ/DAZ flags, but other ARM CPUs can use these features, too. They are just fairly recent additions to the ARM standards, so most CPUs do not have them yet. There are also some few not-yet standard additions, but that doesn’t mean other ARM CPUs cannot built something similar already.

So let's hope it becomes the standard then

>NNOOOOOOO NOT MY GAMERINOOOOOS HOW WILL I PLAY WITHOUT LE 60 FPSIIIIINO
the thread

>Basic tasks
Most AMD laptop chips idle lower than Apple's ARM. When they do use power it's a whopping 10W more!
