AMD looks to be stealing the show. However, the real experience may still depend on the workload because of the dual-channel memory limitation on AMD. Data-heavy workloads benefit from the 8-channel memory on SDXE. Related example: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16482/lenovo-thinkstation-p620-review-a-vehicle-for-threadripper-pro/5

Heard that MediaTek is working with Nvidia to produce an ARM Windows chip as well. More and more companies are joining the AI PC market.

The Snapdragon X Elite is too late. AMD wins this time and Intel... Intel is lost and doesn't know what to do. Maybe Intel Lunar Lake has a chance.

100%.While I love the bold attempt of SDXE, at this point in time it's good but not mind-blowing. If it would have come out a year or two earlier, it would have been the bomb. The move to ARM will inevitably come with some difficulties initially, and if you want a high level of early adoption, you must give something in return - either mind-blowing performance or mind-blowing efficiency or both. Like the M1 was gor Mac. Unfortunately it seems like competitors have caught up already and will be able to give you comparable performance without the quirks.
