You put it like that is a bad thing. As @coercitiv wrote they were doing that on a budget and with distractions like lawsuits and having to ensure financing.In fact, it seems like what they did was to recreate their work at Apple.

Well, they lost much time taking a server core and adapting it to QC uncore designed neither for servers nor smartphones.Yours is a fair take, and it sounds reasonable. It's just you know, I've been thinking about those charts published by Nuvia in 2020, with that big blue Phoenix rising above everything else, and yet it's three years later and they are only within the lower border of that (admittedly ambiguous) prediction. I suppose we will have to wait and see what they will come up with in the future.
IMO the Cinebench 24 is a lot more impressive as it's a much more taxing MT test.GB6 scores are nice... It's better than Phoenix HS.
I would really like to see a power-unconstrained Desktop version as this also supports external GPUs. Too bad it's a pipedream for now.
Legend.As an aside, I’m told that most of Qualcomm’s official data was put together by former AnandTech guru Andrei Frumusanu
Elite X - 1536 ALUs.What's even more impressive is the iGPU performance. To basically match AMD, who have the most mature iGPU drivers, with a first gen product is really impressive. Granted it is just one game.
I am downloading Geekerwan video, seems like their video has real benchmark. In case you guys has any questions about the video, feel free to ask here...
Should be SoC's power TDPThe listed "TDP" is system power, correct?
Are ALUs the same across different GPU architectures?Elite X - 1536 ALUs.
780M - 768 ALUs.
And Elite X is still slower than M2 that has 1280 ALUs.
Whats so impressive about it?
Then that is not consistent with Qualcomm’s tested configurations:Should be SoC's power TDP
Qualcomm is disclosing what they call “device TDPs” for the laptops, which are 80W and 23W respectively.
Hmm, I don't think it refers to device TDP cause that includes RAM and SSD???Then that is not consistent with Qualcomm’s tested configurations:
From the Anandtech article posted above.
It's already built into WoA now, both x86 and x64 apps are supported.The fact the keynote mentioned nothing about x86->ARM in terms of software and hardware like in Apples M2 tells me it simply doesn't exist.
Yes, everything in the system which is why I’ve been waiting on 3rd party reviews because Qualcomm’s testing with “device TDP” seems rather dubious to me.Hmm, I don't think it refers to device TDP cause that includes RAM and SSD???
It is how FP32's TFlops are calculated. 780M has low ALU but they are clocked much higher @ 2.7GHz; thus 780M has 4.1TF....Are ALUs the same across different GPU architectures?
How to calculate TFLOPS?
I doubt that. Almost certainly just driver issue since 8 Gen 2 has ray tracing support.The Control has ray tracing support but X-Elite's GPU can't enable them. It is pretty much confirmed X-Elite has no hardware RT support...
