Snapdragon X Elite is faster than all but the M3 Max.
From what I've seen it actually beats the M3 series in single-core performance.
That Nuvia acquisition has really paid off for Qualcomm.

That Nuvia acquisition has really paid off for Qualcomm.
Citations? Because from what I have found [1], Qualcomm only claims it’s 7% faster than a non-Pro, non-Max M2 in single-core. It’s 50% faster than the M2 in multi-core but that’s using 50% more cores
And all of this on a system with a TDP almost 4 times that of the M2 system, meaning it’s consuming a lot more power to get essentially the same performance.
All of this on a chip that’s coming out in 2024 at the earliest, when Apple will be introducing the M4 series — two generations down the road from what the Elite X is performing at.

Now, in 2023, it claims to be on track to shipping M-series-level chips in 2024. At least that date is still in the future, but I think it should be looked at skeptically in light of their past unfulfilled promises.
