I'm searching for a Notebook and I came across one that had a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c which grabbed my attention... My main concern was that the processor specs says:

  • Instruction Set: ARMv8-A64 (64 bit)
  • Architecture: Kryo 468

Main questions:

  • Does Linux already supports this processor?
  • What I should look at? Instruction Set (A64) or Architecture (Kyro)?

If you have time to spend... How this CPU compares with an i3 6157U?

Thank you for this very detailed answer!

I was looking for a new Notebook for my parents, and they need Windows working as a dual boot and Linux as the main driver. After some research, I found that ARM for Windows was still bad, and we need it to work properly, so I discarded this option. But I appreciated the knowledge you shared with us. Thanks
