Qualcomm Takes on Apple: The Battle For Chip Speed

Had to re-upload due to an editing error, there was 20 seconds of black screen for some reason so apologies for that. Enjoy!

The CPU war we expected: Intel vs AMD The CPU war we got: Apple vs Qualcomm What an era we are living in

this sort of competition is always good for the consumer. Great to have another player in the ring.

The success of Qualcomm is going to depend on how much Microsoft, or a joint effort can improve emulation. Apple had a very good emulator out of the gate while they transititioned.

I'm sure Qualcomns partners will have no problem making it feel like a Celeron chip from 2006.

Now Microsoft MUST make their own Rosetta though, for this to work. The problem with Windows on ARM is retrocompatibility. Without programs no one will move to ARM, and devs won't either, making this problem worse and worse over time

The advancing of technology never ceases to amaze me. Simply incredible.

Considering how much power the last few generations of AMD and Intel chips have been consuming... This is very welcome news!!

Regardless of what side you're on, competition is great for consumers

Hard to say for sure right now that Qualcomm is outpacing Apple. Apple is selling M3 Powered Macbooks right now while Qualcomm is still pretty much selling a “promise”. By the time retail devices/laptops containing the Elites come out, the M4 will be knocking on their doors. And we still have the issue of poor Windows on ARM optimization and the difficult task of convincing developers to switch away from x86. Microsoft has been trying for more than a decade to make Windows an ARM a viable alternative but they still haven’t gotten it off the ground. I’m not holding my breath on this one.

Been watching your videos for years now. Always great and easy to interput.

You're right; this is good for the consumers. The competition game is based on who or which company can deliver what is best and consume less. It's all about innovation guys. Let the show continue and for sure I'll stay tuned.

Its funny all these companies had talent to design efficient chips but never did until Apple did. Most of them were chasing benchmarks but never thought laptops can be used without spinning a fan.

The problem with Qualcomm's new chips is that they aren't in any devices right now. So, even IF Qualcomm has a benchmark chart stating this or that, Apple's chips are in devices that people have in their hands today. People are getting real world benefits that I don't think we'll see with Qualcomm chips until Windows catches up in the ARM software conversion department. Qualcomm isn't really outpacing anyone here and Windows is late af to the ARM game.

Well done! I have been waiting for this video since 31st of Oct! 🙌

Qualcomm also said their new chipsets can run generative AI tasks on-device and that's a huge step as well.

Outpaced? Man, Qualcomm's new chip hasn't been even shipped yet.

ARM is really a variant of RISC "reduced instruction set computer" and x86 is CISC or "complex instruction set computer." Also Raptor Lake is Intel...

I like this battle of the chips so much and great video ColdFusion :]

Lower power draw without sacrificing speed and performance was always the Holy Grail...lower power consumption with greatly improved speed and performance equaling longer life and less battery as described here sets a new standard. So what's beyond the NEW Holy Grail. Yikes this is exciting stuff! Great job as usual CF!
