I like the sound of a non-Apple arm chip for workstations. Given my positive experience with the M1 I'd be perfectly happy never using x86 again after this market niche is filled.
Me too. But my decades old steam collection isn't looking forward to it. That's one advantage of cloud gaming. It won't matter what your desktop runs on.
I don't think this will be anywhere near as good as the M1, since they are using the ARM Neoverse cores.
Apple throws a lot of transistors at their 4 performance cores in the M1 to get the performance they do - its not clear that approach would realistically scale to a workstation CPU with 16, 32, or more cores (at least not with current fab capabilities).
