Actually, Qualcomm noted the 888 is just 25% faster than the 865 in "overall performance". And that's Qualcomm's marketing number.

So Qualcomm didn't even compare the 888 to their latest 865+ CPU: it'll be less than 25%, but how much?

The 25% number is compared to the 865, not the 865+

According to Anandtech, the 888 performance didn't live up to expectations.

The one big core is only 13% faster than the big core on the 865+.

>Compared to the Snapdragon 865+ which clocks in at 3.09GHz, this performance advantage should reduce to only 13%, which is less impressive.

I see, got it. So, if we look at single core performance, I can see it is much less performant, but does not seem like more than a magnitude. It would also make it more efficient than Intel. Still, overall, would be very interesting to see a high performance Snapdragon ARM laptop!

Thanks for doing the math.
