Quite. This is exactly the tension behind the dicussion - while arm64 machines are mainly mobile so far, we're finally starting to see bigger and more capable systems that you'd actually be happy to use as a desktop/laptop. Hence Wookey's question - is it possible to have a single sensible answer for both the (large) mobile hardware user base and the (smaller, but growing) bigger system users? We've seen conflicting information in that thread, hence asking here! :-) Is it true that most PCIe graphics cards (and drivers) will also support GLES as well as GL? I've seen that asserted.
