Qualcomm has made a bold claim that its new chip outperforms Intel’s 14th-gen Core Ultra (Meteor Lake). The Snapdragon X Elite, which consists of 12 Oryon CPU cores each running at 3.8GHz with two of those cores able to boost up to 4.3GHz, was compared against Intel’s Core Ultra chips in terms of power and performance.
In the comparison, Qualcomm specifically called out two Intel chips: the Core Ultra 7 155H and the premium Core Ultra 9 185H. Both these Intel chips have 16 cores, including 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, with the 155H having a 4.8GHz max turbo speed and the 185H having a 5.1GHz max turbo speed.
According to Qualcomm, in single-threaded performance, the Snapdragon X Elite is 54 percent faster than the Core Ultra 7 155H at the same power, or, when performance is equalized, consumes 65 percent less power. In multi-threaded performance, the Snapdragon X Elite is 52 percent faster than the Core Ultra 7 155H at the same power, or, when performance is equalized, consumes 60 percent less power.
Against the Core Ultra 9 155H, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite also compares favorably. Qualcomm’s own benchmarks claim that the Snapdragon X Elite is faster than the Intel Core Ultra 9 as well as the Ryzen 9 7940HS.
