Qualcomm is accused of pumping up benchmark results for its new Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus SoCs.
Qualcomm is being accused of cheating on the benchmark performances of its new Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors made for laptops. Yes, this is a little out of our jurisdiction, but we thought that you would be interested in the topic of benchmark cheating since it has reared its head before in the world of smartphones. These chips could rival Apple’s M-series silicon in performance and could give Windows on Arm a shot in the arm.
According to SemiAccurate, Qualcomm is “cheating” on the benchmark results for the Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus SoCs that the fabless chip designer is giving manufacturers and the media. SemiAccurate cites two “major” manufacturers and what it calls a “deep source at Qualcomm” in its report.
