Finally, a processor has been released that can compete with Apple chips on an equal footing. Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme showed impressive results in Geekbench tests, which will significantly affect the difference between Windows and Apple laptops.

Of course, the new chips from Qualcomm are still inferior to Apple M5, but the latest tests are impressive. For example, Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme scored 23611 points in the multi-core test and 4072 in the single-core test.
