This info is much more useful than a comparison to restaurants.
Does Qualcomm have any new CPU cores besides that one they can't make ARM due to licensing?
The one being announced on May 20th at Computex? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40288969
“Stay” competitive implies they’ve been competitive. Which they haven’t.
I’m filing this into the bin with all the other “This next Qualcomm chip will close the performance gap” claims made over the past decade. Maybe this time it’ll be true. I wouldn’t bet on it.

Point taken. I used "stay" as in, their next rumored/leaked chip wouldn't be an single anomalous success but the start of a trend that could expand to the X2, X3 Elite chips coming after.
Basically we'd need some basis to believe they'll be progressively improving at more or less the same pace as Intel's or Apple's chips to get on board with ARM laptops for Windows/linux.
Otherwise I don't see software makers care enough to port their build to ARM as well.
If the magic comes mostly from TSMC, there's a good chance for these claims to be true and to have a series of better chips coming on the other platforms as well.
