Only about 720,000 Qualcomm Snapdragon X laptops sold since launch — under 0.008% of the total number of PCs shipped over the period, or less than 1 out of every 125 devices

And there was so much hype about about Qualcomm Snapdragon X. To quote Ars' title "Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon".
If anything I think Nvidia's attempt at Windows-on-ARM devices might be more successful, but it's best to never buy into the hype and wait for independent reviews once the products are actually released.

Yeah. Also Qualcomm's efforts for upstreaming Linux support are at best minimal.

And the funny thing was the first, rather impressive, Geekbench 6 benchmarks that Qualcomm revealed were for Linux (the results did not represent real world performance).

0.008% is certainly "less than 1 out of every 125 devices", much in the same way my net worth is less than Jeff Bezos'... It's also less than 1 out of every 12500 devices.
Edit: article corrected headline to "under 0.8%". Leaving my comment because I can.
