Note that's the GB6 ST in Windows, it would be around 3030 for Linux which is more comparable to Android

Still I'd agree IPC isn't amazing compared to Apple or Arm, which I guess sorta makes sense given NUVIA were originally targeting servers, where MT+efficiency is the main focus not ST

IMO how quickly Qualcomm can iterate on the X Elite will be critical to their success (that and Microsoft pulling their weight on the software front)

We've seen several companies release decently competitive custom Arm cores, but then fail to keep up with Arm's rapid yearly development

E.g. Samsung's Exynos M, NVIDIA's Denver, and Cavium's ThunderX2 all started reasonably competitive with Arm, but fell further and further behind in their following iterations
