We know for a fact that their Snapdragon chips for phones have always lagged years behind Apple’s A-series chips in both sheer performance and performance-per-watt, with no sign that they’re catching up. So how in the world would their ARM chips for PCs beat Apple’s M-series chips?
Rosetta only analyzes startup sequence and caches that translation so that it doesn’t have to be computed every time. Everything else is even technically impossible and is a simple emulation.
One thing to note is that M1 chips have few tricks to provide faster emulation. But Qualcomm can do the same.
