Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks

Keep in mind the original X Elite benchmarks were never replicated in real world devices (not even close).

They used a desktop style device (with intense cooling that is not possible with laptops) and “developed solely for benchmarking” version of Linux (to this day X Elite runs like shit in Linux).

This is almost certainly a premeditated attempt at “legal false advertising”.

Mark my words, you’ll never see 4,000 points in GB6 ST on any real products.

They also used the base M4, not M4 Pro or Max (idk if the latter is out but I know the Pro is)

Seems like they’re also using two different Intel chips in their testing for some reason.

I’ll take cherrypicking for $500, Alex

M4 Max doesn’t have the fastest single core in Apple’s arsenal either, the king is A19 now (yup, the one in iPhones):

Apple's A19 becomes the fastest single-core CPU in the world on PassMark, beating PC chips and Apple's own M3 Ultra — passively-cooled iPhone 17 chip catapults past power-hungry competitors

A19 has everyone beat, including Apple itself.
