Why Snapdragon X has a lot of SKUs with different clocks?

I have more of a problem with them calling this chip Snapdragon. It's quite a mouthful. You generally don't have to bother writing the CPU brand name in a mobile phone or tablet review because the emphasis is on other features like display or battery life etc. But for a laptop, the CPU is the star of the show and it should be named something easier to pronounce. Core Ultra, Apple Mx and Ryzen are so much easier to think about even. With QC, you go, Snap..oh snap that awful name! Then they made things worse with crappy model names. It's like they picked the worse of the worst marketing interns for the job.

I feel like the number of SKUs is increasing too much just because of the difference in clock frequency. X Elite is...
Maybe it's because I can't collect things with a stable operating frequency, so I may have made
Many SKU I can't get a stable one from silicon
Equipped with an improved Oryon than the X Elite one, the 8 Elite is It's hard to maintain the highest frequencies, but the frequencies appear to be stable

Off topic but.. With big corporations like Qualcomm, AMD, Nvidia, Intel, would band together, all fix their software on Linux, help finish Wayland and create an unified software store, with people verifying the programs and a reliable payment system and replace Windows because the situation with Microsoft is ugly. Company imploding with AI Delusion.

Wayland, all hardware manufacturers have to work together...
AMD and Intel have been actively responding to this. NVIDIA also seems to be putting effort into dealing with Wayland, although it is slow…
But that's not enough... Various manufacturers such as ARM must also work

Also make a decent office suite too and creative suite and then do we really need Microsoft?

Libre Office is already pretty good, if you don't mind it imitating older MS Office versions.

Few people need features beyond what LibreOffice and those older MS Office versions provide.

The thing that makes people new something else is Microsoft releasing newer versions of Office that generate output that doesn't quite work when loaded by LibreOffice or those older MS Office versions. Which is deliberate on their part.

I would pay for a spreadsheet application that's better than both Librecalc and Excel. Both croak when dealing with large amounts of data. It's like the millions of cells are there for show only. You can't actually fill them all and expect to do something that would normally require the assistance of a developer. Spreadsheets need to evolve considering how much they are used.

Sounds like you don't need a spreadsheet but rather a database.
