I know there is a post in the Nuendo forum regarding Windows on ARM, with Steinberg DAW apps currently compatible, however I am wondering, in relation to Apple Silicon, is Qualcomm, an equal or similar competitor.
I ask this because as my thread title says, I want to use the system today, not next year.
I have an old Intel business laptop from HP, running Windows 10, that Microsoft will abandon come October, this year (I am not a corporate customer), and while it is only 7th Generation, with a TPU, I will still need to use a registry hack, as endorsed by the OS maker.
This is fine, as the apps currently run stable, ever since .55 of the V13 software cycle but as for plug-in makers, it appears they are in totality, only working on Mac’s.
There are two posts, from elsewhere, that got me thinking:

I will eventually need an NPU, not in my head but in my computer, just to run Microsofts’ Co-Pilot software, which I assume will also power DAW applications and associated plug-in’s.
I am not interested in AI based music, that does not show an interface, other than a text prompt or what not via a web browser or so-called (app) application.
Of course, the VSTSDK is compatible, with both of the power-efficient classes, which are made by the worlds’ leading device manufactures, namely Apple and others (Windows-based (not sure about Linux)) so I am not at all concerned or worried about Steinbergs’ part, however to offer some context: VST3 took ages to adopt but, to reiterate, as per my post title, I need the full DAW experience, on a power-efficient platform, now and not tomorrow.
