When Qualcomm flaunted its standards of its brand-new Snapdragon X Elite chips last October, there was one defect in its argument: Qualcomm was comparing the brand-new Snapdragon platform to Intel’s older 13th-gen Core chips. That’s been repaired. Now Qualcomm states that the Snapdragon X Elite is quicker than Intel’s brand-new Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) chips, too.
Last October, Qualcomm stated that its Snapdragon X Elite might match the efficiency of the Intel Core i9-13980HX at 70 percent less power. Subsequent hands-off criteria of the Snapdragon X Elite appeared to bear that out. Intel had not introduced its Meteor Lake architecture yet to supply a head-to-head contrast. Now it has, and Qualcomm is crowing as soon as again.
In a Monday afternoon instruction, Qualcomm executives offered the exact same sort of contrasts to Intel’s Core Ultra as it did to Intel’s 13th-gen chips, comparing power and efficiency. Particularly, Qualcomm called out 2 chips: the Core Ultra 7 155H (16 cores, that include 6 efficiency cores and 8 effectiveness cores, with a 4.8 GHz max turbo speed) and the premium though comparable Core Ultra 9 185H (16 cores, that include 6 efficiency cores and 8 performance cores, with a 5.1 GHz max turbo speed).
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite, on the other hand, is comprised of 12 Oryon CPU cores, each performing at 3.8 GHz. 2 of those cores can increase as much as 4.3 GHz. The Oryon is based upon the Arm architecture, Qualcomm didn’t embrace the conventional hierarchy of efficiency and performance cores. That method rather was embraced by Intel, and its Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) processor.
Here’s how Qualcomm sees the 2 compare. (The Geekbench 6.2 standard is being utilized as a point of contrast. If it matters, Qualcomm utilized the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED to evaluate the Core Ultra 7 155H and the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 to check the Core Ultra 9 chip. PCWorld has actually checked the comparable Asus ROG Zephyrus M16.)
Move over, Meteor Lake: Qualcomm’s own tests declare that the Snapdragon X Elite beguiles both the Intel Core Ultra 7 along with the Ryzen 9 7940HS.
- In single-threaded efficiency, Qualcomm states that the Snapdragon X Elite is 54 percent much faster than the Core Ultra 7 155H at the exact same power, or, when efficiency is adjusted, takes in 65 percent less power.
- In multi-threaded efficiency, the Snapdragon X Elite is 52 percent much faster than the Core Ultra 7 155H at the very same power, or, when efficiency is adjusted, takes in 60 percent less power.
Versus the Core Ultra 7 155H Qualcomm sees its Snapdragon X Elite likewise compare positively:
Qualcomm’s own criteria declare that the Snapdragon X Elite is much faster than Intel Core Ultra 9 in addition to the Ryzen 9 7940HS.
- In single-threaded applications at the exact same power, Qualcomm states that the Snapdragon X Elite is 51 percent quicker than the Core Ultra 9 155H,
