Qualcomm Is Cheating On Their Snapdragon X Elite/Pro Benchmarks - SemiAccurate

AusWolfThat sounds awesome, but what are those competitors? Most people (myself included) know nothing about Qualcomm in the PC space.

FahadI loved this bit in particular where they compared their 12-core processor with Apple's 8-core M3 in a multi-thread benchmark, instead of the M3 Pro, which is also a 12-core part.

What does that tell you? :laugh:

OnasiYou know… competitors. Some nebulous ones. This is straight outta Apple playbook, to be honest, when you release some abstract performance numbers, compare them to… something without specifying and then show a cool large percentile advantage demonstrating your superiority. Don’t forget to add “up to” so that, when the independent benchmarks hit and the numbers are lower (often significantly), you can cover your ass and say that YOUR numbers are absolutely legit, just in a very, VERY specific scenario that involves obscure software that nobody heard of and Mercury in retrograde.

Darmok N JaladApple actually does quite a bit better these days. If they show a performance slide, they will give the system specs, though usually after the pomp and circumstance keynotes. Also, their performance claims have been easily reproducible, including battery life. There was certainly a time when they greatly stretched the truth, but nothing like this, apparently.


It really comes down to equal pricing tiers. If you can get an QC X at the same price as the base M3, then okay, but if you gotta pay M3 Pro prices, it’s crap. Also, let’s see that single core slide. I bet it ain’t near as rosy.

Darmok N JaladWow, that’s pretty rough. If this thing plays out that badly, the only disrupting we might see is that of Qualcomms org chart. It’s one thing to be off by a bit, but “Celeron” performance will get them laughed off the stage. The fact that they pointed to cooling as a problem suggests these aren’t Apple M-class designs, which can and do run passively cooled.

Darmok N JaladAnandtech has some additional benchmarks they were able to run under the watchful eye of QC reps. It was the thermally constrained thin and light part. Also curious is they downgraded the peak CPU clock and also memory clocks from last presentation. Not by a lot, but a bit surprising since usually companies don't even talk specs until they have confidence in production devices.
