A leaked Geekbench 6 result for the Snapdragon X Elite shows the Qualcomm CPU performing better than the Ryzen 9 7940HS - AMD's flagship laptop APU. The Snapdragon X Elite was faster in both the single- and multi-core scores. If genuine, these scores indicate that the upcoming Arm-based CPU will be more than a match for x86 silicon in laptops and maybe even desktop PCs.

The leaked result apparently came from a test run on a "

Apple M2 Posts Single-Thread CPU-Z Bench Score Comparable to Intel Alder Lake

Apple's M-series chips frighten Intel, AMD, and Microsoft like nothing else can, as they have the potential to power MacBooks to grab a sizable share of the notebook market share. This is based squarely on the phenomenal performance/Watt on offer with Apple's chips. A user installed Windows 11 Arm on a virtual machine running on an M2-powered MacBook, opened up CPU-Z (which of course doesn't detect the chip since it's on a VM).

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Put Through CPU-Z Bench

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 is a high performance Arm SoC designed to compete with Apple M3, with Windows 11 thin and light notebooks and Chromebooks being its main target devices. Microsoft pins a lot of hope in chips such as the Snapdragon 8cx series as they offer comparable performance and battery life to the current crop of M3 MacBooks. A lot of water has flown under the bridge since Windows RT, and the latest crop of Windows 11 for Arm has a much wider PC application support base thanks

Intel's Desktop and Mobile "Arrow Lake" Chips Feature Different Versions of Xe-LPG

Toward the end of 2024, Intel will update its client processor product stack with the introduction of the new "Arrow Lake" microarchitecture targeting both the desktop and mobile segments. On the desktop side of things, this will herald the new Socket LGA1851 with more SoC connectivity being shifted to the processor; and on the mobile side of things, there will be a much-needed increase in CPU core counts form the current 6P+8E+2LP. This low maximum core
