You might want to check out some of the available docs for running on Snapdragon X;
for example:
https://www.linaro.org/blog/linux-on-snapdragon-x-elite/
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-concept-snapdragon-x-elite/48800
(There's loads more)
It's still a bit experimental, but hey I'm running my Asus Zenbook A14
fairly happily!
dg@dragon:~$ lscpu
Architecture: aarch64
CPU op-mode(s): 64-bit
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 8
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-7
Vendor ID: Qualcomm
Model name: Oryon
Model: 1
Thread(s) per core: 1
Core(s) per cluster: 8
(It's all very device dependent)
There's lots of people on #aarch64-laptops poking at them!
