Considering how there is not yet a successor to the Snapdragon X Elite
available, I don't see why they would feel the need to produce new
models. Let the company release a new processor, and the manufacturers
will follow with computers based on it. As it is, Snapdragon is
playing catch-up to Apple's ARM chips.

 
Didn’t Qualcomm promise to have cheaper chips for Windows-on-ARM about
now?
 
And why is everybody waiting for Qualcomm, anyway? Isn’t one of the key
benefits of ARM the fact that it is available from multiple sources?
 
But not for Windows, it seems.

 
Microsoft signed an exclusive deal with QC. That's why there is no Boot
Camp for Arm Macs.

 
Do you get the feeling Microsoft *wants* Windows-on-ARM to fail?
