MacBook Air level M3, not MacBook Pro. "Our best chip which isn't released yet is better than the competitors entry level model which is already in market" isn't that much of a brag.

- pquki4 3y agoSure, it may not be very competitive, but given the context which is the performance and efficiency for x86 and previous Qualcomm CPUs, this would be a big leap. Even if it cannot match M-series Pro chips for a while, it could change the landscape quite a bit, because you know what, most people don't actually need or care about Pro level performance.
- giantrobot 3y agoThis has been Qualcomm's claim with each of the Snapdragon powered Surfaces Microsoft has released. Even then the claim is hedged about running specific benchmarks. Real world performance of these systems hasn't seemed to beat the compared to Apple systems.

- multimoon 3y agoI wonder how much of this is raw performance and how much is windows is an unoptimized ad and tracking filled mess compared to MacOS.
