"Qualcomm is easily surpassing Apple.

The 8G4, consuming 8 watts of power, achieves a multi-score exceeding 10k on GB6, and the GPU is also remarkable"

This is groundbreaking efficiency. Incredible.

Side question, Intel and Apple are the only companies who can integrate Thunderbolt controllers directly into their SoCs, am I right?

Why?

Samsung and Intel have the tech to replace TSMC, but they do not have the volume.

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.

You are mistaken.

-45 TOPS is for the NPU alone. The combined value of CPU, GPU, BPU is 75 TOPS.
-45 TOPS is for 8-bit (INT8) precision.

Go watch the event again.

Qualcomm, Samsung and Mediatek are there only options.

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.

There are 4 companies in the world that make 5G modems:

Qualcomm.
Samsung.
Mediatek.
Huawei.

Yes but M3 Max is a different class of product.

It’s like saying Ryzen 7945HX decimated the Ryzen 7950HS.

Does this sub hate the Snapdragon X Elite or something?

I definitely can imagine gaming phones using this. For normal phones the technology needs to improve further so it may only happen in the far future or not at all.

AirJets.

One of the most interesting and exciting technologies coming up.

This could revolutionise cooling not only in laptops, but also tablets and phones.

It’s a rather low end chip.

Are you talking about the Snapdragon X Elite? Sure, their mobile chips do have Vulkan drivers.

If you go to the Snapdragon X Elite Product Brief, you can see the only supported API is DX12.

Maybe Qualcomm would do so in the future, but as things stand now, it’s not the case.

The iGPU in the Snapdragon X Elite is on the same ballpark as the regular M2. Not the Pro or Max variant.

In 3DMARK wildlife extreme, the X Elite GPU is 50% faster than Radeon 780M.

Still, that’s nowhere near 3080 tier.

Qualcomm still needs to work on their Windows GPU drivers. Currently the only API the X Elite supports is DirectX12.

Some speculate that Qualcomm will eventually create Windows Vulkan driver for Adreno. And then use DXVK to support older DirectX versions, and use Zink to support OpenGL.
