Furthermore, Apple is on the cusp of unveiling its M3 chip, anticipated to be a substantial leap forward, thanks to its highly efficient 3-nanometer manufacturing process. If Qualcomm’s best can’t surpass the M2, it may face an even more formidable competitor in the M3.
Lastly, a defining feature of Apple’s silicon is its exceptional performance combined with minimal power consumption. With double the number of performance cores, the 8cx Gen 4 may demand more power than Apple’s chips, potentially leading to increased battery usage and fan noise. In this aspect, Apple continues to excel.
Nonetheless, Qualcomm’s progress in narrowing the gap with Apple is an encouraging sign. For years, Windows users have awaited a serious competitor to Apple’s rapid and efficient silicon chips. Now, the landscape may finally be on the brink of transformation.
