Snapdragon X Elite benchmarks spell danger for Apple's M3 chip — but can we really trust Qualcomm's marketing?

Snapdragon X Elite.

Following recent reports that Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite will allegedly trounce Apple’s M3 silicon chip in CPU and AI performance, new benchmark data appears to back up that claim. At least according to Qualcomm. 

At an event in London recently, Qualcomm took to the stage to give “an interim update” ahead of the Snapdragon X notebook launch in June. Marketing material shared by the company at the event appears to indicate that in certain tests, the Snapdragon X Elite does indeed best Apple’s base model chip.
