Speed and more in ‘24: Qualcomm chips may be 21% faster than Apple’s

It appears Qualcomm is set to unleash some rather powerful processors in 2024, which include chips that may be 21 percent faster than Apple’s M3, the same processor used in the new 16-inch Macbook Pro laptops. It's also expected to be faster than other competitors in the laptop space, according to a recent article on Digital Trends. The article noted that some members of the staff got the opportunity to see the new processors in action (with a “dummy unit”). 

As you might expect, though, there has been some debate in comparing the new Snapdragon X Elite PC chip to Apple's M3, which is something Qualcomm acknowledged. “The experience is not going to be the same because they’re running macOS and we’re running Windows,” said Sascha Segan, senior public relations manager for Qualcomm, “but in terms of hardware, which is the only thing we can control, it’s good hardware.”
