Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread

igor_kavinski · Mar 25, 2025

Microsoft actually thought that people would be quick to get one more laptop to try out the Snapdragon "magic", fall in love with the increased battery life and gradually wean away from x86.

You really don't need to be smart to make the big bucks these days. Just need to lie convincingly and pull people into your reality distortion field.

I would imagine QC and MS care. I expected them to foot the bill.
To be fair, my wireless Brother printer works better from my phone than it does from my Envy laptop, so there is that.

@jpiniero
Same as above, QC nad MS care. They keep pining over it.
As a purely laptop household, I also do want better battery life, bursty single thread and no fans.
Better battery simply so that I can keep my charger tucked away more, not because I actually need more autonomy.
Single thread because I use simple functionality.
No fans because fans are annoying.

Qualcomm is also N2.

Is that first question a hypothetical? Because it’s not in any way strange.

QC issue is they suck at building value parts (they have premium handset brain).

Hmm, guess you have not read about SD X's launching with system starting from $600. Qualcomm have created new SoC to replace SD 7 series targeting >=$600 PC laptop market.

OTOH, AMD's Kracken Point is slightly better specs than X series but AMD set the SRP above $800. That's why AMD has to cut the Kracken die to create R3 with 4 cores (2xZen5 + 2xZen5c) and 2CU (75% cut) with AI features.

We’ll see if this plays out since it’s quite early for there to be leaks but it’ll be good to check back on to see if this was valid. My opinion: seems too much of an increase. But if true would be impressive.

It's much better than its predecessor's. Qualcomm's successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite launched last October is probably coming in October, and while we...

IIRC (and no I don't want to waste my time looking at anything related to this stupid benchmark), the global score aggregates CPU, GPU and system stuff. I already think that global scores are dumb, but they moved the stupidity to another level by accumulating oranges, apples and bananas.

If only stupidity were always that tasty.

Meanwhile google's Tensor G5 is rumored to have the performance of a dying rodent's anus. They'll still ask for flagship prices for their phones though....

Have we benchmarked that??!?!?

I've never had an orange in my milkshake before. Hmm...
