2024-12-17

Arrr, the gloves be tossed aside, matey! Intel and Qualcomm be squabblin' like scallywags over the treasure of Arm PCs returned. It be a ruckus of epic proportions, with the sea of tech churnin' and the pirates laughin' all the way to the hold!

Ahoy, me hearties! A ruckus be brewin’ twixt Intel and Qualcomm, like a storm brewin’ over a spilled rum! Intel’s co-captain, Michelle Johnston Holthaus, be claimin’ a mighty lot o’ Arm-based PCs be returnin’ to port, likin’ ‘em to leaky ships! But Qualcomm, the stout-hearted foe, be shootin’ back, claimin’ return rates be as normal as a sailor’s breath after a night at sea!

Intel’s bold assertion be that these here Arm PCs be givin’ retailers a right scare with all them returns. But alas, neither side be providin’ hard numbers to back their tall tales! Qualcomm waved its flag high, shoutin’ that their Snapdragon-powered vessels be sailin’ smoothly with high ratings and shiny awards!

Now, ‘tis true the waters be rough for Arm on Windows, and Intel might be tryin’ to hoist its own saggin’ sails by callin’ out the competition. With many apps built for x86, the poor Arm ships be struggle to run ‘em right, causing frustrated buccaneers to haul ‘em back to port.

So, while the sea of tech be churnin’, I reckon both sides best find their sea legs, lest they sink under the weight of their own claims. Aye, may the best ship sail true and steady!
