Qualcomm announces the Snapdragon 8cx, an 'extreme' processor for Windows laptops
The "X" stands for "extreme." That's what Qualcomm's marketing department wants you to think about the new eight-core Snapdragon 8cx.
It's a brand-new processor for always-connected Windows laptops and 2-in-1 convertible PCs, and from Qualcomm's perspective, it might seem a little extreme. Physically, it's the largest processor the company has ever made, with the most powerful CPU and GPU Qualcomm has devised yet. Qualcomm says it'll be the first 7nm chip for a PC platform, beating a struggling Intel to the punch, and the biggest performance leap for a Snapdragon ever. The company's promising "amazing battery life," and up to 2Gbps cellular connectivity.
The TDP is 7 Watts, and the chip supports up to 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM.
Previously, a "Snapdragon 1000" for laptops was said to be in the works, but with a 12 Watt TDP.

I do not look down on Niggers, Kikes, Wops, or Greasers. Here, we are all equally worthless.
Except the Vietnamese. They might cook the best fried chicken but they are truly subhuman.
And their language sounds like, "Ho ho hai hmnmmmmmfbh hai ho banh me thanh tranh mgggnmbf"
My orders are to weed out the non-hackers who do not pack the gear to live as citizens in the United States. The Gooks? Make the best fried chicken. The Blacks? They cause violence but live alongside the rest of us as being brothers of American history. Even the Jews have a place for themselves here whether or not we like it (we don't). Mexicans and other Latinos? Cheap labor and useful idiots. But, although the Chinks have their place in Californian history, they are driving up property values and so will reach a level of villification that hasn't been seen since the 19th century.
We are solly, so solly, for the discrimination in our dirty history...or maybe we're not.

Join with me, Jew. Let's draw the fire: Let's make the Vietnamese the enemy again! Gooks NVA! Charlie!*
I just want some good fried chicken.

While I make similar jokes myself, that's the pot calling the kettle black. Much like the Muppet's Swedish Chef's rounded vowels or Spanish coronal fricatives [wikipedia.org], English speakers are often caricaturized over the aspiration of voiceless stops before stressed vowels [umanitoba.ca] especially when trying to speak other languages as sounding "gay".

The old adage was like: use French for lovers, German for soldiers, Italian for friends, English for ducks.
