Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X chips for Windows laptops are not meeting expectations in terms of performance
Initial tests show lower benchmark scores than what Qualcomm had claimed
It is possible that the test tools are not optimized for the new chips, but it is likely a flaw in the chips themselves
There are concerns that OEMs may need to underclock the chips to improve battery life, resulting in a performance drop compared to Apple’s M-series chips
If this happens, Windows customers may face the same performance versus battery life dilemma as with x86 chips
In gaming performance tests, Qualcomm’s chips were not able to match Apple’s M-series performance on Resident Evil Village
It remains to be seen how OEMs will address these issues and whether firmware updates can improve the situation.
