Snapdragon X Elite vs Apple M3, Which is Better?

So, in this article we have compared two laptop CPUs- the 3.8GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite with 12 cores against the 4.05GHz Apple M3 with 8 cores.

In this article, you will find that which processor is better in terms of benchmarks, games and other important information.

So, let’s begin.

Comparing X Elite and Apple M3

• In terms of single core performance, M3 is better than X Elite and in terms of multi core performance, X Elite is better.
• If we talk about power efficiency, then Apple one is more power efficient than X Elite.
• If we talk about the Cinebench and Geekbench benchmarks, then Apple M3 is better than X Elite chips. In these benchmarks, we have file compression, clang compilation, HTML 5 browser, PDF renderer, text processing, ray tracing, background blur, etc. so, these all the things are compared one by one.
• Now, if we talk about passmark scores then again previous is much better than X Elite chips. In passmark, we have integer math, floating point math, find prime numbers, random string sorting, etc.
• Now, if we talk about the memory support then the memory size of X Elite chip is 64 GB whereas of Apple M3 is 24 GB and number of memory channels are 8 in X Elite and 2 in the later one.
• For wireless standards, the Snapdragon X Elite is comfortably ahead. The latest MacBook Pro models with the M3 series that offer a Wi-Fi 6E but there is no sign of 5G in Apple’s laptop range till now. By comparison, X Elite not only supports the cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 standard but will also offer you 5G network support for faster network. This thing gives X Elite an edge over Apple devices.
• One more advantage of X Elite over M3 chips is that it will be available on more devices than Apple chip would be available. We can use the Apple M3 chips with only Apple laptops but the later one, we can use with Acer, Asus, Honor, Dell, Lenovo, HP and Microsoft. So, here also X elite will take a lead when it comes to wider range of options available.

So, in some domains Apple M3 takes a lead and in some areas X Elite is better than the previous one. So, now the choice is yours which one you would you like to purchase but overall, the Snapdragon X Elite will be the one to go for.

Recently, Apple released MacBook Pro M3 which is based on M3 chip, so you can surely read about that laptop in detail.
