Arm laptops are almost ready for prime time, and some new benchmarks with a Snapdragon X processor will have Intel, AMD and even Apple worried

2024 is shaping up to be the year that Windows laptops with Arm processors mount a serious challenge to the dominance of the Intel and AMD x86 duopoly.

We've been hearing about Qualcomm's Snapdragon X for sometime, and now the first devices are being unveiled, with more to follow at what's shaping up to be a very interesting Computex in a few weeks time.

WalkingCat over at Twitter (via Videocardz) revealed some pictures of a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 packing a Snapdragon X processor.

But, to what extent will such devices disrupt the laptop market? Though there's not much to glean from the handful of pictures, the Yoga Slim in question looks to be a premium ultra-thin option.

I would expect the first wave of Snapdragon X models to be similarly premium options, and not some budget alternative to x86 options from Intel or AMD.
