The advantage in favor of the classics turned out to be overwhelming: according to the software makers, Qualcomm was very hasty with its statements about plans to conquer the market.

According to the infographic, over the past 30 days, only 0.3% of the devices tested in Passmark were laptops equipped with Snapdragon X Elite processors. According to the developers, ARM-based laptops are unpopular, and the head of Qualcomm jumped the gun when he predicted the "capture" of the market by devices based on ARM chips.

"...Given the statement of the CEO of Qualcomm that ARM could capture 50% of the PC market in 5 years, [the company] still has a long way to go," the Passmark team said.

Authors of the Wccftech portal believe that laptops with Snapdragon X Elite processors are unpopular due to their high price and late start - the first devices on Snapdragon X Elite began to appear on the market only in May of this year. In addition, users, according to their assumptions, do not yet see a clear advantage of Qualcomm chips over solutions from other brands.
