    This is great news - the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme X2E-96-100 isn't too far off the Apple M5 Pro.

      Sure, not too far, but single core perf is still. And also still very much behind the new M6 in single core and multi core <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;v7&#x2F;cpu&#x2F;389219" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;v7&#x2F;cpu&#x2F;389219

      27k and 33k, in x86 this usually the difference between last gen and current gen.

      For the record, X2E-96-100 is not available in any SKU at this point, only X2E-94-100 is.

        Actually, my bad, it is available in the US, but seemingly not Europe.
