Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite Outperforms Apple's M3 with 21% Faster Multi-Core Performance
Qualcomm claims that its Snapdragon X Elite SoC is up to 21 percent faster than Apple's M3 in multi-core performance. However, a Qualcomm PR manager suggests that the experience will be different due to the different operating systems, hinting that macOS is superior to Windows. The Snapdragon X Elite achieved a multi-core score of 15,300 in Geekbench 6, while the M3 scored 12,154. It's worth noting that the Snapdragon X Elite has different power limits, with the higher limit boosting performance but causing excessive heat. Consumers are advised to wait for Snapdragon-powered notebooks to hit the market before making a purchase.
