News Benchmark maker comments on the scarcity of Qualcomm Copilot+ PC tests in the wild — only 56 Windows-on-Arm devices benchmarked in the last 30 days

PassMark Software seems unimpressed by the number of Copilot+ PC tests that it has seen in the wild since the new platform launched. The long-established benchmarking observed that, over the last 30 days, 22,000 Windows x86 machines were put through its CPU test suite, yet only 56 Windows-on-Arm machines have been benchmarked.

That's about expected. Paying $1000~1200 to become a beta tester is a steep price to pay. If it was some $300 to $400 cheaper, then I would be enticed.

However, Qualcomm’s time in the excellent battery life spotlight may soon fade. Today, the new HP OmniBook Ultra 14 launched with AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor options and a touted battery life range between 13 and 21 hours. Intel Lunar Lake portables are also expected later this quarter, and these also have numerous optimizations for increased efficiency with better battery life.

You all didn't just expect AMD and Intel to sit around, shrug their shoulders, and not make improvements, did you?

What a silly article! They should restrict the comparison between ARM vs. x86 submissions just to laptop CPUs. Probably a lot more people are benchmarking desktops, due to the way benchmarks facilitate tweaking & tuning, as the article mentioned.

Second, I'd have a lot more interest in running PassMark on Snapdragon, if I knew it could test ARM-native performance. Unless/until they have that, they shouldn't act so surprised.

I need to see their excellent battery life while on idle/windows sleep. That's something that most x86 laptops struggle

I suspect many consumers are over all the AI hype as well, or not interested in it. I don't know anyone personally, that is in favor of AI. I even disabled CoPilot on my laptop.

I know/work with one.
But he is a serious dumbass, that just knows he knows better than the rest of us.
