Starting apps is hardly a performance test, since a lot of the apps that are started actually seem to be loading network data before they display anything. So it seems to be indicating that the Note 8 outperforms the X on his network.
What would be interesting to investigate for somebody that likes to do a benchmark is how the download speeds are. Apple capped it's Qualcomm chips and Intel is just slower at the moment.

You always display something immediately (usually with placeholder images) and then make the network call. In fact on OSX you are asked (and strongly encouraged by Apple) to supply a startup image which is displayed whilst the app is still loading.
