- em500 3y agoThe Cortex X2 has already been shipping in phones for more than a year (in the form of the big core in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1). On Geekbench 6 it scores around 1500-1600 single core, which makes it comparable to a Intel 11th gen laptop core or a low power (U series) AMD Zen 3 core. Even the successor Cortex X3 is already available phones (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Dimensity 9200). It benches around 1800 on Geekbench, which is comparable to a Zen3+ low power U laptop core, or an lower clocked Intel 12th gen U laptop core. Fro comparison, the latest Raspberry Pi 5 features A76 cores, which benches around 900 in phone implementations, comparable to 8th gen Intel cores. Apple's A13 scores around 1600, the M1 around 2200.
