Hmmh. I can't really make an informed statement. I can't fathom qemu being experimental. That's like a 20 year old project and used by lots of people. I'm not sure. And I've yet to try Box64.

I looked it up. The Snapdragin X Elite "Supports up to 64GB LPDDR5, with 136 GB/s memory bandwidth" while the Apple M2/M3 have anywhere from 100 GB/s memory bandwith to 150/300 or 400. (800 in the Ultra). And a graphics card has like ~300 to ~1000GB/s)

(Of course that's only relevant for running large language models.)
