That’s what I’m waiting for, just that it gets close to Mx performance and has proper Linux support.
Comment on Apple officially unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max: 3 nanometer, Dynamic Caching GPU, more

Did these chips have a translation in hardware like Rosetta? Or emulation that’s almost just as good?

Yes! By all means, but next years’ mythical chip and instead of this proven one!
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
It’s already been proven. They just had a big live tech press conference where they set up 20 laptops with the chips in them and all had them running windows with a bunch of different benchmarking software (all ones you’ve heard of if you’re in to that sort of thing) to prove the numbers, specs, and functionality, along with having some of their engineers there to answer any questions.
It’s not a “next years mythical chip”. It’s already here and they already proved it was all legitimate and that there were no “embellishments”. The laptops from all the different manufacturers that are slated to use the chip are set to sell mid 2024.

When it’s out and independently proven, only then would I say that it’s fair to compare.

Genuine question: and are these slated to have full-fledged Linux compatibility? Because I’ve had to give up on Windows on Arm because of silliness like Google refusing to make Google Drive, or apps like Affinity/Blender/Fusion360 not having hardware acceleration thanks to Qualcomm’s subpar drivers.

They are slated to have it and I they have ran a couple of their laptops displayed in their tech demo on Linux, but im not sure what distro it was on. They have been advertising for Linux and Win 11 compatibility.
