As was already mentioned, I’m not discussing ARM. ARM has its own issues with compatibility on top of the Windows to Linux compatibility.
Comment on Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming

Qualcomm, Intel and Snapdragon have all released chips that blow it out of the water.

It’s a completely different discussion if you throw ARM into the mix.

And given some recent news about Valve working on an ARM emulator and funding Arch Linux to help them start supporting ARM as well they might be working towards that. Though if that is for the deck 2 or something else further in the future is yet to be seen.

It’s rumored to be for new standalone VR.
But, well, future is a long time, especially on Valve Time. ;)

surprisingly not most of the time I checked.
Laptop/Mobile x86 seemed rather competetive to Laptop/Mobile ARM in performance/Watt

Well, let me rephrase it: it’s a completely different discussion if you want to run Windows games on ARM without ridiculous performance losses due to translation from x86.
Until we get Proton running with near-native speeds on ARM like on x86 perf/watt isn’t really that important.

Qualcomm is Snapdragon, and that’s ARM, which means half of your games will crash at random in the first 30 seconds or not boot at all
Intel has not done what you claim they have
