I’m searching for a Notebook and I came across one that had a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c which grabbed my attention… My main concern was that the processor specs says:
- Instruction Set: ARMv8-A64 (64 bit)
- Architecture: Kryo 468
Main questions:
- Does Linux already supports this processor?
- What I should look at? Instruction Set (A64) or Architecture (Kyro)?
If you have time to spend… How this CPU compares with an i3 6157U?
FWIW, ACPI on ARM is a thing, Qualcomm just doesn’t care about their chips

That’s correct, mea culpa; I’ve only seriously worked with qcom so entirely forgot that’s a thing. I’ll update my comment, thanks!
