These could be good if they go into a good system and aren't bootlocked. Otherwise I'd argue that's not even a PC.

The confusing branding of having two chip variants with vastly different specs but identical names is really bad. Like Russian roulette bad, except you shoot yourself in the foot instead of the head (for as long as you own the product).

Qualcomm support on Linux has been too mediocre and late to take it seriously so far over x86 products

Yeah I don't get how an arm chip could be perfect solution for PC gaming.

Competition to Intel+AMD+Nvidia.

Qualcomm has historically been one of the most closed chip vendors. Unless they publish full specs, datasheets and open drivers, that'll be a hard 'no' for me.
