Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite SoC, launched in October, promises to change the market and compete on an equal footing with Apple's proposals, even the latest. Now, the American giant has ensured that its proposal continues to dominate, but with one limitation: Microsoft's Windows.
Since the launch of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, the market has changed. If you initially compare it to Apple's M2 SoC, the Cupertino giant's M3 has higher performance and better resource management.
Even with the emergence of this new competitor, Qualcomm guarantees that its proposal can still beat Apple's products on the market. Advanced data shows that the multi-core performance of this solution will be 21% faster than that of M3.
It was revealed that the Snapdragon X Elite has a multi-core score of 15,300, while the M3 has a score of 12,154, which is behind the Qualcomm SoC. The test was conducted on Geekbench 6, but Qualcomm cleverly omitted one important detail from these results;Power limitations of the Snapdragon X Elite.
Despite such an important difference in results, Qualcomm foresaw the limitations of its SoC. Sascha Segan, head of the brand, said that Microsoft's operating system could bring limitations in the future and even become a problem for the end result.
The experience won't be the same because they're running macOS and we're running Windows, but in terms of hardware, the only thing we can control is the good hardware.PCs with Snapdragon X Elite are scheduled to hit the market in mid-2024 from different well-known brands and manufacturers. At the same time, Qualcomm's team members tested the unbranded ginseng*** and received positive reviews, pointing not only to the performance improvements, but also to the addition of artificial intelligence features in the device.
