Are we talking about AI/ML? X Plus and X Elite NPU hit 45 TOPS. M4 is 38 TOPS... Also, as far I know, Elite does match M3. Actually, Qualcomm promise that even X Plus is able to match it, as they say Elite is better than M3. We'll have to wait to see more benchmarks. PS: There's 3 Elite series.

> Are we talking about AI/ML? No, I was speaking to the usual single-core and multi-core benchmarks. Though you should buy based on what performance metrics you value most. While I have a basic understanding of TOPS metrics I don’t have a good enough understanding to speak much about it — especially when I’m not sure of what exact AI/ML workloads will be used on such platforms. I mean, how many tokens/sec and what wattage does that equate to? > Also, as far I know, Elite does match M3. I would disagree from what I’ve seen. > Actually, Qualcomm promise that even X Plus is able to match it, as they say Elite is better than M3. The real world benchmarks will tell. I am super curious about the performance-per-watt which is something that really matters to me (heat, battery life, etc). Can the Elite outperform Apple’s chips? Can it do it at comparable wattage, or is it going to burn your lap doing so? Can’t wait to see.
