M2 TDP is 20 watt as per https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-M2-Processor-Benchmarks-... I only was interested in comparison of M series with new snapdragon chips. I don't think this is clickbaity, I just stayed facts

That's because Macbook air has no fan, throttling is needed to keep temperature low. Snapdragon laptops has fan so likely won't be throttling

x86 chips does not have a good battery life and snapdragons previous windows chips were too slow. Elite might be best of both worlds.

With M3 already out and snapdragon 6 months away from launch, things can go either way. I actually don't care which one wins. M series chips are revolutionary, snapdragon just catching up at same power draw is good enough

Apple M2 consumes roughly 20 watt and snapdragon X elite is at 23 watt. They are comparing an active cooled snapdragon with Macbook air which does not have a fan.

Qualcomm has not given much details but it will be interesting to see performance numbers for 23Watt profile. Even if you can match M1/M2 performance that would be big step up from x86 Edit: looks like 23 watt performance is more or le

Qualcomm is supposed to launch new laptop chips(snapdragon x series) and they are supported to be 21% master than Apple M3 muti-core performance. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/18/qualcomm-snapdragon-x-e...

Having moved to mac 4 years ago I can't think of going back to windows. Only downside I find is you need to buy Apple hardware at premium to experience MacOS

M3 chips the build on 3nm fabrication which is most expensive at this time. Apple hardly does cost cutting, they always go getting edge because they know they can charge premium on all their products.

I hope Qualcomm delivers performance per watt somewhat close to Apple M series. M series is great but only usable using MacOS. With Qualcomm we can experience good battery life on Linux too
