As I stated this is the top Qualcomm model we're talking about, not the base which is significantly lower. Given their top model underperforms the most common M4 chip and the M5 is about to be released it's not very impressive at all. Even the old M2 Max in my early 2023 MacBook Pro has 400GB/s. | ||

The base model X2 Elite has memory bandwidth of 152 GB/s. M4 Pro is a modest win against the Extreme as mentioned, and Qualcomm has no M4 Max competitor that I'm aware of. https://www.qualcomm.com/content/dam/qcomm-martech/dm-assets... I think the pure hardware specs compare reasonably against AS, aside from the lack of a Max of course. Apple's vertical integration and power efficiency make their product much more compelling though, at least to me. (Qualcomm, call me when the Linux support is good.) | ||
