A new leak has now revealed early performance numbers of Qualcomm's next-gen flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. The September-bound SoC looks set to bring a 20-30% performance boost over the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and could outperform the iPhone 17 series' A19 Pro across the board.

Apple's big advantage has been its exclusive hardware and software connection. There is no magic to Apple's silicon other then it has the optimization advantage. I think as far as mobile chips ARM based chips have a huge advantage over Intel and AMD and have spent far more time making desktop processors. After using a Macbook Air M4 for months now, coming from a i7 U series Windows laptop. There is no way I would go back to a Intel or AMD mobile platform.

Don't really care much about performance of new smartphone - I know that it will be more than sufficient for my media/messaging/web usage. Just hoping that all performance benefits are within the same thermal package and it doesn't start to throttle after just opening a browser app..
