Hard to say for sure right now that Qualcomm is outpacing Apple. Apple is selling M3 Powered Macbooks right now while Qualcomm is still pretty much selling a “promise”. By the time retail devices/laptops containing the Elites come out, the M4 will be knocking on their doors. And we still have the issue of poor Windows on ARM optimization and the difficult task of convincing developers to switch away from x86.

The problem with Qualcomm's new chips is that they aren't in any devices right now. So, even IF Qualcomm has a benchmark chart stating this or that, Apple's chips are in devices that people have in their hands today. People are getting real world benefits that I don't think we'll see with Qualcomm chips until Windows catches up in the ARM software conversion department. Qualcomm isn't really outpacing anyone here and Windows is late af to the ARM game.

For example, I have a Thinkpad T22 laptop with a Pentium III CPU and 512MB RAM from 2002 running Gentoo Linux that I still use weekly because it has a great keyboard and I can write scripts on it while SSH'ed into my home server, have emails open on a second virtual desktop and have a music player on a third desktop, with overhead left for a few other things.

Maybe be less of a "magpie" attracted by shiny objects and think about what you're actually buying a bit more. As for "power hungry"? My expertise with computers, servers and Linux pays me a good salary and I don't waste money on brand new hardware that depreciates in value by 50% the moment you take it out the box. I am not particularly worried about a few watts here and there, I can afford it. "with swappable batteries, or a faster and/or more efficient one with swappable batteries?"

As a guy in the information field, I see massive untapped potential for ARM.

I agree and I think we’re seeing it already! As I dabble in stuff like Raspberry Pi’s and other small devices, I’m finding that ARM chips are everywhere because they’re incredibly flexible, powerful and handy

CPU improvement in the past couple years is amazing

It will be interesting to see how much of the speed advantage comes from pure hardware and whether or not fine-tuning the OS has any effect. Is there any word on the power efficiency of the Qualcomm chips or are they focusing on horsepower?

A very good question. Found it a little odd that Qualcomm didn’t allow people/dev/journalist to go hands on with the reference models at the demo 🤨

Oh boy, this has got me excited. Because of the low power consumption, I am looking forward to the ARM to be accepted as the general gaming chip for PC(s). Currently running R5 3500X and looking forward to R5 5700X... =)

Another awesome video. love your work.

Qualcomm never stops surprising me. From CDMA, LTE and 5G, it's hard to say that they are not poised to become a major industry player for cpus in the next ten years.

As someone who works in Android / Mobile Development I expected it coming. Modern Smartphones are really powerful. The problem wasn't qualcomm but Microsoft Windows whose ARM support was not good until now. One more thing I think is important to mention is that even though qualcomm has really impressed in terms of CPU performance, they still lack in GPU

Nothing drives innovation more than good old competition. Never let them convince you that consolidation will make things better, consolidation only reduces competition and lets big companies rest on their laurels with gradual year after year improvements.

As I said on the original post, Apple won’t be outpaced any time soon. Qualcomm making such a chip is impressive in itself, but means very little when the optimization on Windows for it just isn’t there. I’ve seen benchmark results and it beats only the base M3. And losses to both Pro and Max. Not to mention we don’t even have the ultra variant yet either, and that is bound to be a monster. Furthermore, for Qualcomm to win in single core performance, it had to be pushed to 80W. And even then, it barely comes out on top. In the end, I do like competition in the market, but it’ll take a lot for others to catch up to where Apple is at. Especially when it comes to efficiency. Future competition would only push Apple into further developing the Silicon chips. As by the time competitors release their flagship chip, promising it would outperform Silicon, Apple would be knocking at their door with their own.

I've read that Apple moved up the release of M3 to specifically counter the Qualcomm announcement. This is a first gen product that almost certainly has lots of room for improvement, so I wouldn't just blanket assume that Apple can or will out develop the competition. Also, the bulk of Apple silicon sales are the base model, so for most people the fact that proi, max, and ultra are faster doesn't mean much

M3 Max is available now, not next year, and once Snapdragon X Elite is out, Apple probably has something even faster about to be done cooking too. Very unlikely they’ll have another better chip coming in the same generation, but this is a huge catch up for Windows in terms of performance and efficiency, only if Microsoft wanted to.

But it’s not like they are going to wait till the x elite comes out and start working on a new one. They are mostly likely already working on the next versions as well.

It’s not emulation but rather Apple locking down their system to not allow Linux on arm to exist. Qualcomm uses stock ARM which should not force devs to reverse engineer all the drivers like they do for Apple.

at 8:09, M3 (8cores) can actually go up to 3198 at single core and 12034 and for M3 max (12cores - on par with 12core X Elite), it's 3228 and 21560 for multicore.

While the Fairchild Semiconductor link to Intel is a similar event, there is one that is much more similar. That would be when Apple purchased PA Semi and used them to produce their Ax Series of chips. They saw what they did with their PWRficient PowerPC processors, bought the company and pivoted them into the ARM space.

I bought discounted Surface pro x running on SQ2 ARM cpu with W11 last week and I am surprised how well it runs. I installed all software that I used on X86 machines without any issues - for browsing internet, working in M$ Office and other 'light' tasks it is already good enough in my opinion. X64 emulation works for me so far, I only noticed that it takes couple of seconds longer when launching emulated software, once it runs it is ok.

well its amazing as we will get full compatibility of most apps. or at least they would be super easy to port. thats great news for both camps. and for software developers too. btw i think apple suspected that to happen and they was betting on the compatibility problems will soon be vanished as everything will be arm. and as they knew that, they propbly still have things in their sleeve

More competition!! More innovation ❤️❤️❤️

Something odd: The table at 8:11 shows that 23W and 80W were measured on different platforms (Win/Linux). Does this affect the performance measurement? And why are you repeating some scenes in the video? (e.g. "take a photo" and "these companies will use the chip"). Besides that, great video 😀

One thing that always be a great issue in ARM adoption is software support. Apple does the transition very well with Rosetta while Windows ARM is still falling far behind.

Thought about this as well and it's crazy no one is talking about it. If Windows ARM become a real thing and developers start developing their games and software to run on ARM too as there would be a great demand for it, they just need to port it to MacOS. Specially games, which is something that the Macs can run but simply doesn't have many games to run as there is almost no incentive for developers to port the games to ARM right now. Yes there is Rosetta, but native support is always better. Will be exciting to see all the benefits for all the sides.

What farming level do I need to plant Snapdragon X Elites? I'm still running on mere harralanders

I have an m2 pro macbook pro and I love how silent and cool it is while being very smooth in everything I throw at it. One of the big success enablers, though, is the rosetta 2.0, which enabled x86 mac apps to run on the apple silicon - it is very efficient. How does such compatibility layer on Windows perform in comparison?

~25W is most likely the power it was designed for and 80W is what it used when they pushed it close to its limit. It's very common to pull massive amounts of power to get a few extra percent at the top end of overclocking. So they're primarily marketing and enthusiast number.

Fun fact: Switching Windows to ARM (if Microsoft wil ever get its act together, that is) with this new chip will again help Apple, because then game developers will also have to develop their software for ARM, which will make porting to macOS much easier ...

Game developers don't write assembler. In the very few spots they do, it's easily swapped out for another instruction set. The barrier is higher level interfaces, such as DirectX, and of course all the OS and kernel calls. Nobody targets hardware, because there are far too many variants and configurations out there, and they change too quickly.

The fact that they target for 2024 release might have something to do with new windows release. Microsoft may have developed more sophisticated x86 to arm translation layer for the new windows version.

I don’t think Apple has anything to worry about. As their M3 chip can do more with less power and less cores. But, Intel should be shaking in their boots 🥾.

Making a Great Chipset is Easy, The Hardest things to do is integration like apple, Qualcomm are just showing benchmark performance but dont telling the which physical device they are using on other side Apple is Showing real time benchmark on there Latest Laptop.

This is exciting. Not only is it good for non-apple users but as a mixed user (PC, Mac, iPhone/iPad, Sony) I look forwards to innovation from the increased pressure on all brands to stay on top. Especially Apple. They did great stuff, this is a reminder they can't get complacent. Good luck engineers. Also, 2:35 - until has 1 L :))

I'm just happy that the biggest in the space are sweating, because that can *only* be great for consumers. And I'm happy to see that Lenovo will use the new chip in some of their new products, since I'm budgeting for a new PC now and I have loved the Lenovo's I've had before, so it feels good to hear that they are joining forces with Qualcomm. That makes it more reasonable for me to buy one of their newer laptops, whenever they come out. Two companies I actually do not hate - that makes for a great combination.

Heavier OS and software, larger files, different displays, not sure what is the exact cause, but usability is not better. Other issue, Thunderbolt 4 ports are NOT fully compatible with previous USB hubs, and the new docks are 10 x more expensive. The competition for pure performance is about marketing, most people don't need that...

Great content

Success is arm on laptops mostly now depends on Microsoft making a good emulator for x86 apps. It worked on Mac because of Rosetta. Something like that which is seamless should happen in Microsoft world. Else, we'll be stuck again in the loop where people won't use arm on windows because there are no apps and developers won't make arm apps because there are no users. Rosetta played an undisputed important role in m1 success.
