The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 will get nearer to the Apple M1 in the multi-core benchmark, but its ranking is handiest 64% of what Apple’s chipset achieves. However, these incompatibility handiest serves to spotlight how great the Apple M1 is in transient bursts, because the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 outscores the Snapdragon 8cx by 78% and the Snapdragon 888 by 31%.
Briefly, these ratings would signify a generational jump in efficiency from the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 to the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. They make no longer near shut to matching the Apple M1 though, which is in the waste the SoC in opposition to which of us will review any future Qualcomm pc SoCs. In announcing that, the efficiency shown here would build the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 in the identical ballpark as Ice Lake-U and Tiger Lake-U processors, which is one thing that we won’t insist of alternative ARM chipsets be pleased the Microsoft SQ1 or Microsoft SQ2 in the Surface Pro X.
