Was basically neck to neck with M5

Was basically neck to neck with M5

Except in Single-Core Performance & Efficiency, where the M5 is 20% better and this, where the M5 is 2.2 times better:

Apple M5 10-Core
MacBook Air 15 M5   
12.8 Points per Watt

Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme X2E-94-100
Zenbook A16 UX3607   
5.83 Points per Watt

But there's this video youtube.com/watch?v=HKxIGgyeISM ("Apple's GPU Power Numbers Are Wrong — I Proved It") that shows that Apple's reporting may not be correct, as also the battery runtime doesn't last longer on the Air M5, but maybe it depends on what a battery test tests.

even though the raw GPU performance is only on the level of the M5 GPU with 10 cores

Expected, because of the same bandwidth:
M5: 153.6 GB/s = 128-bit * 9600 MT/s / 1000 / 8.
X2 Elite: 152.4 GB/s = 128-bit * 9523 MT/s / 1000 / 8.

Not just Elite, not just Extreme, but Elite Extreme 🥵 Unless others bring Ultra Elite Extreme Pro Max AI+ this one is clearly the best on the planet.

Silly names are not even funny at all anymore...
