Competition is good.
Not like I'm a Qualcomm fan, but this sounds great. If Linux support is good (and I'm guessing it'll be), my next laptop may be Qualcomm inside.
I'm specially interested in seeing if these laptops will be able to have Coreboot, that would be fantastic.
now just imagine if we had full linux support of mobiles
Google be bye gone!
You mean like with the PinePhone?
Doesn’t really surprise since Qualcomm hired the geniuses behind the M series.
When will it actually release and by that point how far away is the M3?
Also important, will it be available and affordable. I don't much care about arm laptops if they cost an arm (heh) and a leg to buy and then a couple fingers to import into the mythical and exotic land of not-US.
M3 is available starting next week so not very.
The answer is in the article...
It is worth noting that by the time Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite hits store shelves, Apple’s M3 line of CPUs (which are expected to be announced this week) and Intel’s next-gen Meteor Lake laptops processors with its beefy NPU and GPU, will be the new competition.
The M3 was announced yesterday: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/10/everything-to-know-about-apples-new-m3-m3-pro-and-m3-max-processors/
It will be out before these chips are. So will next gen x86-64 chips, Zen 5 at least, and possibly Intel Arrow Lake depending on timing.
Apple just announced its M3 line of processors, and they’re shipping next week.
Don't know how to read an article?
Apple's response: "M3"
By what apple revealed on the m3, it looks like it's still going to lose out on cpu, ai, and tdp. Might come close on graphics performance but overall it won't be good enough.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Qualcomm caused quite a stir last week with its long-awaited announcement of its Snapdragon X Elite platform based on its new Oryon CPU, creating what some are calling the "Apple Mac Moment" for Windows.
During Qualcomm’s keynote, the company went on stage with some fancy graphs and a few handpicked benchmarks, putting it up against Intel’s best 13th-generation Core laptop CPUs and Apple’s M2 (and even M2 Max in one scenario).
More importantly, when we turned around, there were well over 20 Oryon-powered laptops with Geekbench 6, Cinebench 24, PCMark 10, Procyon AI, and 3Dmark WildLife Extreme and Aztec Ruins (pre-commercial builds).
But, similar to Apple, that platform can range from low TDP (thermal design power; basically, how much wattage the chip draws) to very high, with or without fans.
Each time you run a benchmark, the score fluctuates depending on external and internal thermal conditions or any Windows background processes that may temporarily be active.
It is worth noting that by the time Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite hits store shelves, Apple’s M3 line of CPUs (which are expected to be announced this week) and Intel’s next-gen Meteor Lake laptops processors with its beefy NPU and GPU, will be the new competition.

Damn, RIP x86 I guess
on PCMark's webpage the fastest mobile cpu is R9 7945HX with 14k marks. How did they manage to score only 9k in the article?
Passmark already has the latest threadrippers scored, topping the charts at 156k points. As a comparison the 7950X is at 63k points, 7945HX at 56k points, apple m2 ultra 24 core 49k points. So as long as you have the watts to spare x86 will be more powerful?
A solid bye Felicia for me
Nah, if Intel gets their shit together and moves to 2-3nm finally everyone else will start crying. Yes, Intel lags behind everyone today, but they lag just a bit, all while using an extremely outdated tech process.
The article shows a low- and high-powered version of the qualcomm chips - will users of these chips be able to change the power profile of these chips themselves, or will they be locked in before they are sold?
