This launch is made even more interesting due to the pending onslaught of competition coming the PC space from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm. Only days prior to the Apple announcement, Qualcomm had shown the Snapdragon X Elite SoC that will come in 2024, making some significant claims of performance rela
So it looks like Snapdragon X is legit and that Ryzen and Core mobile processors aren’t that great. It’s unfortunate they don’t have the M3 Max, considering the M3 Pro is underwhelming—supposedly not much faster than an M2 Pro.
A full Blender comparison would have been useful since that’s one of the best tests for real world usage (I do 3D work).
What would be great is a comparison of these benchmarks with thermal output and fan noise.
