We know for a fact that their Snapdragon chips for phones have always lagged years behind Apple’s A-series chips in both sheer performance and performance-per-watt, with no sign that they’re catching up. So how in the world would their ARM chips for PCs beat Apple’s M-series chips?
Well that’s a lot of seething and also some straight out incorrect/outdated info. If X Elite benchmarks are true, it is already with 90% of M3 single core and equal to M3 Pro in multi-core at 23W.
Sure it’s a new platform and it’s adoption will be slower compared to Apple, but as a starter they got all major OEMs coming up with laptops using this Chip, earlier it was just 2-3 companies.
And their claim that Snapdragon chips are “years” behind is just ignorance at this point.
The M3 Pro chip was sandbagged… it has less (but better) cores than the M2 Pro, as they pulled it back to being more mid-range in the tiers than before. It used to have the same CPU as the Max, but now the max is substantially more powerful than the Pro as it pulled far ahead this generation.
And the QC chips will be releasing around the time the M4 series is released.
