Intel and Arm Announce Multigeneration Collaboration on Leading-Edge SoC Design

I'm curious if anyone has a similar story but running Linux instead of macOS? I have a DIY AMD 5600X system (128 GB RAM, two M.2 drives) that is fast but warm. In the summer it can be uncomfortable in my upstairs office, despite A/C. I could be tempted into trying an ARM workstation if I thought it would make a big difference on heat.

I don't really do gaming, except occasional Minecraft with the kids. My GPU is a 10+ years old GeForce GTX 560, and it seems fine. (But maybe that only works with x64? I don't know.)

I've already had a taste of Apple's ARM speeds with my M1 Macbook Air. Running `make clean && make` on Postgres is practically instant. I don't understand what's going on there to make it so fast. But for my daily work I'd rather be in Xubuntu. Is anyone out there doing something similar?

No experience myself but I've heard good things about Asahi Linux (https://asahilinux.org/). Not sure how usable it already is as a daily driver.

For the heat try undervolting the cpu, there’s even a utility to help you get started with the settings by 1usmus, if you are willing to tinker you can get some incredible power efficiency.
