This nails it! I blogged about how the expected Geekbench scores for Nuvia were better than M1

Nuvia was aiming for the server space but Qualcomm probably saw an opportunity to leapfrog many generations of in-house design and catch up to A and M series chips from Apple.

For reference - Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 888 flagship lacks behind 2019 Apple A13

As an aside, on mobile your site has ads on top and bottom of the browser window, leaving a bit of room in the middle to read the content which is just as often ads as your own words.

Reading that article was a distinctly unpleasant experience.
