Event details
While Prism emulation works reasonably well for application compatibility, my understanding is that this does not work universally. While it's exciting to see Qualcomm chip advancements in terms of number of TOPS, I'm not quite sure how large enterprise customers could adopt ARM based machines without a large architectural overhaul, not only for endpoint management admin teams but also packaging, etc. In addition, MDM tools like Intune would likely need to come full circle on ARM as well for all management policy types.
Smaller enterprise customers may be able to adopt ARM faster due to smaller app portfolios, but until either Prism is perfect, or an evaluation tool exists to evaluate an entire app portfolio, I don't see how large enterprise customers could adopt it broadly.
Additionally, will x64 based machines that meet the TOPS requirement (i.e. Intel Lunar Lake) receive equitable feature advancements (Recall, Copilot for Windows SLM, etc.) at the same times as ARM based CoPilot+ PCs?
Thanks for your feedback and question. The panelists covered this topic at 3:22.
