Im not sure why you think Meta switched to Mediatek. Meta is only using Mediatek to codesign their experimental Orion glasses. They’re not even planning on selling Orion.

A Few things.

1) Qualcomm provided an updated Graphics driver on the 19th: https://www.qualcomm.com/developer/blog/2024/11/upgrade-latest-graphics-driver-for-snapdragon-x-elite-devices

2) "My X Elite laptop only gets 6-8 hours of battery life with web browsing." There are numerous videos and articles claiming better battery life. If we can be honest this is an issue on your power configuration. I have an x-elite and I get ~11 hours, but I run it in power efficiency mode. I don't need the cores clocked to the max to browse the internet.

2) Like Anmol mentions Nvidia's ARM cores were never anything special, what has changed that they can now compete with Qualcomm's custom cores? If the argument is that they can integrate their superior graphics then that's one bonus for them, but I don't see them competing with QC with stock TLA cores. You also mention "in reality, competent companies such as Nvidia and MediaTek will be addressing most of the ARM AI notebook segment." Then provide no further analysis of why this is the case.

3) your comment surrounding "In fact, I would argue that MediaTek is an objectively better version of Qualcomm, outperforming in every way."

Then you provide no evidence other than a relatively childish table with no sources. How are Mediatek cores better at decode and power draw? I spent the last 15 minutes looking for any blogs or tear downs, scientific publications that measured this and I could not find one. Will you post your source?

4) Meta working with Mediatek on AR glasses. As the others have pointed out you cherry-picked an old article while ignoring the new news.
