Upstreaming Linux kernel support for the Snapdragon X Elite
Upstreaming Linux kernel support for the Snapdragon X Elite
Latest SoC is getting traction on Windows-based laptops, and we’re also consistently upstreaming to mainline Linux. See areas of focus and try our Debian installer.

Honest question out of sheer ignorance. Could this, in theory, open doors for an OEM to finally start working on a Linux mobile phone and for devs to spin distros for those phones?
That would make me very happy.
This isn't a phone focused product, and the thermal envelope is quite a bit larger. It's meant for laptops, and maybe some tablets will see it. These are Oryon cores from their purchase of Nuvia, and I don't think a whole lot will transfer over.
Hey, dreaming is still free. Who knows for how much longer though 🤣

Oh wow, kind of like apple puts an M chip in iPads now, maybe a throttled version of a Snapdragon X chip could be used to make a phone. Didn't think of that but that would be very cool
If Crapple can do it, I see no reason why Qualcomm can't.
I could see Pine64 doing once the chip becomes cheaper
Yeah, that's the only one that comes to mind if this ever happens.
