But the main thing is this while story is some bizarre idea that a new device getting nearly 1% of global sales in its first quarter is doing badly?
There was a lot of hype for this and some sketchy work by Qualcomm around benchmarks (initially posted benchmarks that were based on a linux setup with 100% custom cooling, none of the released products came close to this result and it’s not really viable to run Linux on Snapdragon X devices even to this day).
- Ars Technica - Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon
- The Verge - Qualcomm’s next round of PC chips will fight Apple under the name Snapdragon X
- Tomshardware - Snapdragon X Elite Outperforms Intel, AMD, Apple CPUs (In Vendor Benchmarks)
I posted the headline as-is. Updated it with the new headline.
