    It’s vaporware until a product that uses it is announced. Not to mention this article compares it to a base M3, when it should probably be compared to an M3 Max, which decimates it lol

      Its not necessary to compare to M3 max, (ofc reviewers will) but it depends on the price class.

        Is that so? By which metric are you classifying it differently then? Power draw? TDP? P-Core count? Are they really that different in those regards? It doesn’t seem like they are, even though we don’t have real numbers yet for the snapdragon.

          The die size of the X Elite is ~ 170 mm².

          That’s far less than the M3 Max’s 400+ mm².

          What thus nears is the two are in completely different tiers in terms of price.

        It’s called “snapdragon x elite”. I just assumed that meant it was their top of the line chip, but it will probably be priced similar to M3 Pro

          Yeah. I mean for now, the X Elite is their best and highest end offering. But I do believe Qualcomm will release higher tier chips like “X Super” and “X Ultra” in the future.
