Yeah, if the claims of 4070 performance for that APU are true... that's probably 6 - 9 months away though

Is this a new AMD chip with that performance? In 9 months the new ARM processors will also be out.

New ARM processors and a future of windows/Linux on ARM will be awesome, but will any games run on it day 1 or even day 500?

Apparently many already are with good performance numbers and already the new Dell ARM laptop is leaked that it has double the battery life and the chips are 50% less expensive. I'm guessing Intel and AMD will still have an edge in gaming for a little bit but I don't think x86 will ever compete with arm for battery life and general use once they put up higher voltage ARMs. Just my guess though

If you compare the performance of the Apple M series and the latest M4 with x86 best efforts then it's clear the RISC/ARM efficiency coupled with integrated RAM and GPU is the future.

Yes, everything is becoming integrated... That will be a repairability and upgradability nightmare.

When will this company release the 6 bay NAS? That's what I'm waiting for.

Can you provide any evidence of this? Seems like fear mongering to me.

No need to avoid them, just do a clean install of windows when you get it.
