Qualcomm's claims of superiority for its Snapdragon X Elite over Apple's M3 are vindicated in a recent benchmark comparison, but the victory is nuanced. Find out the details here.
Comparative Analysis: Snapdragon X Elite Performance on Samsung's Galaxy Book 4 Edge Versus M3 MacBook Air
Samsung's Galaxy Book 4 Edge with the Snapdragon X Elite was recently benchmarked using Geekbench 6, according to the Wccftech report's earlier specifications. This Windows notebook will have a portable 14-inch display. Still, it may come at a high price to match that new SoC.
The Galaxy Book 4 Edge produces respectable single-core and multi-core results, but how does it compare to the recently released 15-inch M3 Macbook Air? Geekbench 6 reveals that the Snapdragon X Elite is 16 percent faster than the M3 in multi-threaded workloads but falls behind the latter in single-core runs.
Even though Qualcomm's upcoming flagship SoC is faster than the M3 according to the most recent comparison, the figure is slightly lower than the San Diego company claims. However, remember that the Snapdragon X Elite was previously tested at two power limits, 23W, and 80W, so that the SoC may achieve a higher single-core and multi-core score with a higher power draw. Still, at the expense of heat and rising temperatures, not to mention battery life if the Galaxy Book 4 Edge is used without being plugged in.
Understanding Core Configurations and Cooling Dynamics in Snapdragon X Elite vs. M3 Performance
The M3 can achieve these results with only four performance and power-efficiency cores. In contrast, the Snapdragon X Elite requires a 12-core configuration to outperform its newest rival in the ARM notebook space.
A fair comparison would be between the Snapdragon X Elite and the M3 Pro, but the more capable Apple Silicon will likely achieve a higher multi-core score. There is one detail to remember for those who claim that the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air has a fan-less cooling system, potentially giving the Galaxy Book 4 Edge an advantage.
Geekbench 6 is not a long-term, sustained performance benchmark, and its single and multi-core runs are only a few seconds long. Running this program may not provide a clearer picture. Still, it will give some information about the chipset's capabilities, regardless of whether a fan-less or active cooling solution is installed.
Wccftech has already reported that without an active cooling fan, the M3 running Apple's latest MacBook Air models can reach a peak CPU temperature of 114 degrees Celsius when running a benchmark for an extended period, so the Galaxy Book 4 Edge may achieve better thermal performance.
