That is because performance isn't the only metric. Things like cost make a big difference as they would need to make it decently priced for silicon board partners to buy. Just the amount of L2 cache in the M1 is 3x-6x as compared to the X3 core which adds cost to the chip.
The M1/M2 is an amazing chip, however you need to consider that these chips are in different price brackets hence the performance discrepancy.
- bee_rider 3y agoI thought the X line was aiming for performance.
- monlockandkey 3y agoYes it is for performance. But it is performance at a reasonable cost. The new Qualcomm Oryon chips are more powerful but also much more expensive. So the X lineup is actually quite reasonable if you want smartphones to be "affordable". https://www.androidauthority.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-8-gen-4-more-expensive-3379069/ https://www.androidauthority.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-8-gen-4...
- bee_rider 3y agoOh, these are cellphone chips. I guess we’ll have to wait for the next Neoverse before we get interesting comparisons to Apple’s M chips and Intel/AMD’s mainline ones.
