Is ARM the only way to get there? And if so, why isn't Microsoft pushing for Windows on ARM? Are they too busy working on Copilot?

I think they are quicker at putting the latest generation chip designs into consumer electronics.

That's why we don't see Snapdragon sweep in a similar fashion. Qualcomm makes impressive chips too but then doesn't manage to deliver devkits and when the laptops came out they weren't bad but already behind. And nothing for Linux users even when Qualcomm has promised to be better in the future.
