Snapdragon X Elite in the wild is allegedly slower than iPhone 12


Wait for firmware updates before condemnation

Reddit user r/caponica23 shared his review of the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge on Monday, and the benchmarks fail to meet the performance of the iPhone 12 mini, released in 2021. Running the laptop through its paces on GeekBench and CrystalDiskMark and subjective battery and gaming tests didn't fare well for the Snapdragon X Elite processor. Qualcomm's review embargo has not lifted yet, and it is unclear if we will see a firmware update arrive for X Elite before then, boosting the performance of underperforming chips in the wild.
