This is the best summary I could come up with:

Qualcomm has made the ambitious claim that its Snapdragon X Elite will outperform multiple Intel Core i7 processors on the Geekbench 6 benchmark that measures multi-threaded performance.

Additional charts claim to show the X Elite chip beating AMD’s Ryzen 9 7940HS on GPU benchmarks, with the same ambiguous “relative performance” as the y-axis.

This is just a funny claim; the X Elite has 50 percent more cores than the M2 and sucks down much more power, so of course it is going to do better on Geekbench at “peak multi-thread performance.” That’s like a professional sprinter bragging about winning the 100-meter dash against a bunch of marathon champions.

In Qualcomm’s words, this is “a cross-platform technology that enables Android, Windows, and Snapdragon devices using other operating systems to discover each other and share information to work as one integrated system.” One could, for example, drag and drop files and windows across multiple different devices, share screens, or have their earbuds automatically switch between them.

Seamless is incorporated into Snapdragon’s mobile platforms; current partners include Microsoft, Google, Dell, Lenovo, Honor, and Oppo.

This seems like a neat idea, but it is, of course, something you will only see widespread use of if lots of people end up buying Qualcomm’s PC chips.
