Honest question out of sheer ignorance. Could this, in theory, open doors for an OEM to finally start working on a Linux mobile phone and for devs to spin distros for those phones?

That would make me very happy.

This isn't a phone focused product, and the thermal envelope is quite a bit larger. It's meant for laptops, and maybe some tablets will see it. These are Oryon cores from their purchase of Nuvia, and I don't think a whole lot will transfer over.

Hey, dreaming is still free. Who knows for how much longer though 🤣

Oh wow, kind of like apple puts an M chip in iPads now, maybe a throttled version of a Snapdragon X chip could be used to make a phone. Didn't think of that but that would be very cool
