If this is to be believed, Snapdragon is bumping up against the M5 in single-core. Unfortunately we don't have M5 Pro Geekbench results; the M5 Pro has equivalent core counts to this rumored X2 and would be more of a fair fight in multi-core.

Skeptical, but it feels like APUs are mostly memory bandwidth limited. Panther Lake seems so so good, Intel really doing amazing things here.

But it and the M5 are both ~150GB/s max throughput, and Qualcomm's X2 Elite Extreme having triple-channel memory opens up the possibility of more.

What really would shock me & be an upset is single core numbers that match. Qualcomm has a number of chips where 1 core runs 1GHz faster than other cores; I wonder if there's anything like that here?
