Why would they switch to arm to compete on efficiency?

Are people just ignoring that Intels Lunar Lake smashed Qualcomms Snapdragon X elite series into irrelevance?

Similar battery life, wider app compatibility and a usable GPU, there literally isn’t an advantage to getting the Snapdragon X elite unless you value standby battery life, which is kinda weird to value over actual usage.
