The Snapdragon X Elite's CPU and GPU reference benchmarks are now available showing impressive gains over current flagship processors from Intel, AMD, and Apple. OEMs can configure the Snapdragon X Elite up to an 80 W TDP, which allows the SoC to offer near-desktop-class performance, particularly in single-core, along with significant multi-core gains.
Apple has paused the production of its M2 SoC, owing to a drop in demand for M2-powered Macs. This is thought to be the first time Apple has ever halted chip manufacturing for current-generation devices.
Two unreleased Mac models have surfaced in the Steam Hardware & Software for November 2022. One of these models could be a MacBook Pro powered by an Apple M2 Max chip.
