Intel's co-CEO claims retailers say Qualcomm-powered PCs have high return rates, points to new competitors with Arm chips coming in 2025

But Arm will still get a larger chunk of the market, according to Intel.

"I mean, if you look at the return rate for Arm PCs, you go talk to any retailer, their number one concern is 'I get a large percentage of these back,' because you go to set them up and the things that we just expect do not work, right," said Johnston Holthaus at the Barclays 22nd Annual Global Technology Conference. The slow adoption of Snapdragon systems results from multiple factors, including software compatibility issues, low gaming performance, and rather strong offerings from AMD and Intel. On the one hand, it has vast manufacturing capacities that can almost guarantee its dominance, and it also plans to keep tailoring its designs to better compete against Arm-based rivals in terms of power consumption and performance efficiency.
