SoC line Snapdragon X Elite aims to be Qualcomm’s big bet to counter Apple’s third-generation Silicon (M3) processors. It is undeniable that the implementation of ARM in Mac computers has borne fruit, since then its share has grown quite a bit, although it has fallen a bit recently without losing all the points gained.

Despite some loss of steam according to Statcounter data, it is undeniable that Apple’s Silicon processors have been successful, motivating Qualcomm to respond with Snapdragon. As for the power it has to offer, it has recently emerged Compared to a 15-inch MacBook Air with an M3 processor, we find that the Qualcomm chip is only 16% faster in multi-core according to the performance test performed with Geekbench 6, which was published, and to top it all off 11% slower on a single core.

The fact that the comparison was made with the 15-inch MacBook Air is very important, because this model uses passive dissipation, that is, it does not have a fan, something that the MacBook Pro models with the same processor have. Considering that according to tests conducted by YouTube channel Max Tech, The 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 has 33% less performance under full load than the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the same processor.one concludes that Snapdragon

Snapdragon On the other hand, it would be necessary to see how much autonomy the Galaxy Book4 offers when fully charged and without plugging in.

It is important to keep in mind that synthetic tests have many possibilities for obtaining results that later differ greatly from what one experiences in a real environment. On the other hand, there is the fact that Windows is an operating system that has yet to mature in its builds for ARM, so in the end, although synthetic tests may provide some data, in the end Apple will win because of the best user experiences it provides through macOS.
