Qualcomm says its Snapdragon Elite benchmarks show Intel didn't tell the whole story in its Lunar Lake marketing

Snapdragon logo.

At its Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Qualcomm is taking Intel to task. The company, which released its Snapdragon X processors over the summer, is using its home turf to claim that its chips are faster than Intel's newly released Intel Core Ultra Series 2 "Lunar Lake" processors, and suggested that Intel didn't tell the whole story in its marketing.

Qualcomm presented a series of benchmarks; Some of them were repeats of what we've seen before, now with Lunar Lake (and AMD's Strix Point) added, while others were designed specifically to disprove Intel's claims that Lunar Lake offers "the fastest CPU cores. Period." 

Of course, Qualcomm's tests featured some of its own cherry picking, but you can already compare Qualcomm and Intel's latest in a number of our independent reviews, including in the same chassis in the Dell XPS 13 (9345) and Dell XPS 13 (9350).
