Curious to see how much of this new arch will actually be adopted by Qualcomm, or whether they will diverge further with their (Nuvia-acquired) Architecture.
Either way, I hope the result is not causing fragmentation in the market (e.g. developers not making use of next-gen ARM features because Qualcomm doesn't support them)
Am I missing something...?
Arm doesn't build operating systems. But you already knew that. So your post is merely troll bait.
The last time I tried to run local LLMs via my 7900XT using LMStudio, even with 20gb of VRAM, they were borderline usable. Fast enough, but quality of the answers and generated code was complete and utter crap. Not even in the same ballpark as ClaudeCode or GPT4/5. I'd love to run some kind of supercharged commandline-completion on there, though.
Edit: I guess my question is: What exactly justifies the extra transistors that ARM here and also AMD with their "AI MAX" keep stuffing onto their chips?

The new Mali GPU's look not bad too with +20% performance while 9% more power efficient.
And SME2-enabled Armv9.3 cores for on device AI doesn’t sound bad either
