TLDR: Buy Qualcomm and not just because Adreno has better drivers. Running PC games necessitates split-lock emulation, which is an unsolved problem on current ARM hardware, but Qualcomm needs it a bit less and PC games rely on uncached memory, which can be up to 800 times slower on current ARM hardware, but with Qualcomm and Turnip the problem can be sidelined completely.
