I would be interested to know how x86 programs run on the Qualcomm SoC, is it some sort of optimized emulation or x86 to ARM translation layer while simulating the system calls directly like Linux subsystem for windows, either way, it would be interesting to see how it will perform,

ExaGear Desktop claims near native performance on ARM today, so I assume the performance will be similar. It will perhaps have a more significant cost in battery life. https://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/
