Just ahead of Halloween, Apple is set to unveil the M3 chip line, new MacBook Pros and an updated iMac at a “Scary Fast”-themed event. Also: The company prepares a total overhaul of AirPods; prices for TV+ and other Apple services go up; and the TV app is getting a revamp later this year.

    What’s your source for that?

    Searching for benchmark scores on the Snapdragon 8 gen 3 turned up this:

    The Apple M1 leads the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 by a hefty +55.58% in the single-core test and +31.47% in the multi-core benchmark – bearing in mind that’s comparing our median marks for the M1 against the theoretical best for the Windows on ARM-based laptop. Understandably, the advantages for the Apple M2 are even greater, with the new MacBook Air/Pro processor snagging a massive +72.57% lead over the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 in the single-core run and enjoying a +54.89% multi-core difference. So while the Qualcomm processor does offer a very attractive generational performance leap over its own family, it is clearly a distant runner-up to the Apple M-series.

    And even that article was from before the M2 Pro and Max CPUs came out…

      The one that I said could compete with the M series is their upcoming X Elite platform with the Oryon CPU. Here’s a thread from a few days ago about it.

      As for the GPU side for which I used the Snapdragon 8 gen 3, you can look the Geekerwan review here.
