Perhaps they should pursue building around Mediatek CPUs.

Google has already built Chromebooks (which are Linux based) on them, so presumably the necessary drivers exist.

Outside of laptops, NVidia sells its Jetson Devkits and DGX workstations which run Linux and are pretty fast and ARM based.

And System76 also sells a high powered (and $$$) Linux workstation based on an NVidia ARM chipset

So at least for some ARM SOCs, performance issues have largely been solved.
