So a 80W 12 Performance core CPU could only manage +10% single core and 2x multi-core over a 20W 4+4, year old CPU? That doesn’t sound like a dunk. Performance per Watt looks to be worse than the M2 as well.
„Best Snapdragon CPU beats Apples basic entry level Mac processor“ doesn‘t generate enough clicks and outrage to divide Apple haters and Apple fanboys further.
Apple just announced m3, we'll see how it compares
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.

So when they drop uefi are we even going to be able to get windows off of these things? If not it sounds like a living hell.
If anything you need UEFI to run Windows on one of these things.
Why do you need to drop uefi?
True they could just keep uefi and drop support for non-certified software its their ecosystem after all
Ok but how about apple’s M3? Also, what’s the performance at the same power level?
M3 has same pci lanes its unlikely to improve gpu at least
