"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.

That doesn’t sound very informative. Your older chip might have been WiFi 5 and now you perhaps upgraded to a chips with WiFi 6. Of course it’s going to be faster.

The era of little cores is over.

A new era has begun.

x86 and ARM laptops are still nowhere in the same league in battery life

Could you elaborate on what those memory models and flags are, and how they function?
