Qualcomm recently announced the Snapdragon X Elite system-on-chip (SoC) device as a new laptop-class Arm processor, stating that it was so powerful it would beat Intel and AMD’s x86 CPUs. The fabless chipmaker now claims that the latest addition to its renowned Snapdragon line can provide higher performance than Apple’s latest M3 SoCs.
During its announcement in October, Qualcomm said that the Snapdragon X Elite chip could match the peak performance of the Apple M2 Max SoC chip using 30% less power. Apple introduced the M3 line just a week after the introduction of the Snapdragon X Elite, so Qualcomm is doubling down on its bold performance claims.
