Major benefit of Lunar Lake is Linux compatibility. That's what matters to me. Eventually that may change but it's still going to require custom boot loaders and what not.
i don't know how the battery life would be like on linux for lunar lake, technically linux supported arm for ages now, when the kernel will totally support the snapdragon chips, it will shine more than windows on arm i hope
So basically Intel's new gen just made Snapdragon irrelevant. A boost to multicore in arm optimized workloads isn't worth the lack of compatability. Identical real world performance and battery usage = Win for Intel.
That’s completely false. Snapdragon laptops are amazing. As far as the GPU is concerned 75% of games work fine and as far as the CPU almost 99% of everything works perfectly.
Does anyone see the obvious fact that all these chips are now manufactured by TSMC ….M4….Elite…Lunar Lake and AMD’s chips…and they all perform about the same …just different designs 🤔
@@jonathanng138I will agree with that, lunar lake sucks and Intel needs to stop lying and gaslighting us to try and make us believe x86 has caught up anywhere close to arm in performance to efficiency because every time they fail and I just laugh at people who actually believe Intel claims at this point, when they screw us over and over again yet people still trust them
I can almost guarantee that Lunar Lake will be faster. Video editing can take advantage of the iGPU on the Intel laptop. The iGPU on the Qualcomm laptop is much inferior.
Idk for reviewers but for consumers it's a long term investment. So compatibility is a major factor. Not only games but in x elite many apps are incompatible.
The funny thing about multicore performance on a machine that has 12 cores, unless you were specifically using the CPU to do 3-D rendering *without a GPU* (which you would probably never do professionally) there’s very few cases where you’re going to spin up 12 cores.
The battery is inaccurate, you restarted one PC and played League of Legends on the other. Woh and behold, the one you played league of legends on has a lower battery than the one that had a second of rest.
That’s actually misleading. Way beforehand, he had run multicore Cinebench tests, after which the X Elite Laptop had 72% and Lunar lake Laptop started to trail with 70% battery life. He literally restarted once (which literally takes less than 2 seconds for modern laptops, and has minimal to influence on battery life tests). He never played LoL on the Lunar Lake. And literally the Lunar Lake only trailed by around 3% (even if you want to factor in the restart) it would theoretically trail by 2% in the end…
Plus, Dell XPS 14 has the Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU to cover GPU intensive work and some gaming on the side. The CPU side should preserve the battery longer.
In my opinion, people are being way too harsh on Qualcomm mainly because of the new GPU. As shown in this video, the snapdragon CPU is about 90% faster than the lunar Lake one in multi thread apps that are native to arm. And it’s cheaper too. I think they beat expectations for performance with their first CPU.
yeah even apple m series had some issues, sure they could resolve them faster but still people were not as harsh to them. Its mostly cause rn Qualcomm is against windows people and apple people. Supporters of X86 and M series
It is not about being harsh, but being realistic. Yes, the snapdragon chip is very good, but, 1) you rely on windows to make the OS performant on ARM, 2) you rely on every developer to port their applications to Windows on ARM and 3) you expect a windows platform to have great gaming selection and support. These are huge conditions that are most likely not going to happen, at least not any time soon. Lunar Lake combines efficiency with x86 support, and for those who don't care about gaming, macOS is a beast productivity platform. This combination makes Snapdragon and windows on ARM almost completely irrelevant. Having said that, Snapdragon could definitely focus on making ARM based Servers & Datacenters though, given their excellent multithreaded performance and efficiency.
@@georgioszampoukis1966 yeah and everything Windows on ARM related is better than Mac OS regarding compatibility.... more games work on Qualcomm than on Mac, more of my professional apps work too, and that's all within the first few months
Meh... it's apples to oranges right now. The Snapdragon products are for a more narrow segment of consumers whereas Lunar Lake is the more appropriate choice for most. That may change in the future, but I'd be really careful about spending that much money if the product doesn't meet your needs today.
Both chips are looking fantastic. I am seeing some VERY deep discounts on X Elite laptops at Best Buy from time to time (like the Slim 7x for $800) that have won me over. Saving $600 over the Lunar Lake competitors was a good trade off for the app compatibility.
x86 is the gold standard when it comes to windows and these ARM based ones are just made to rival apple aiming at disrupting their market but its on course of getting backfired sooner than expected !!!
Never seen completely fair comparison like this. Then which one's better? Depends on the usage... One is faster but has compatibility issue with x86 based app, while the other is fully capable to any apps but slower in multi core. In terms of best chip in 2024, upcoming M4 chips will beat all recent laptop chips, so don't worry, This kind of comparison is only for Windows sector. We'll see the best laptop in the world as soon as Apple release M4 MBP, unless if you're gamer, Windows lover or has to be affordable.
Yet they'll still only sell a fraction of the units dell, hp or lenovo sell even at the same price point. As long as they keep offering 8GB ram 256GB ssd in their base models and charging $400 to upgrade or they keep making macos so closed and restrictive, their sales will not grow no matter how good their laptop chips are.
let's wait and see how arm laptops go (software wise and also the new rumored nvidia/mediatek chips coming out in 2025) , but for now, Lunar lake is my go to chip
I'd rather take the Dell XPS 13 Lunar Lake because it has full X86 software compatibility and Thunderbolt 4 ports (guaranteed floor of 32 Gbps data transfer speed). In all fairness, the Snapdragon X Elite destroys it in multi-core CPU performance by over 30%. If someone wants to stay with general web browsing and limited work apps (please double check), then this might be the better long-term option. Apps and software that work: Python, C#, Visual Studio IDE, Visual Studio code, Office 365 apps, Power BI, Azure Cloud, Brave browser, and Edge browser.
pNot going to lie, watching this on my Snapdragon X Plus surface Pro and kind of worried. I think Lunar lake took the win here personally but still happy with what I’ve got. I hope ARM on windows continues to take off and maybe can coexist with X84. For my use case the X Plus and X Elite chips are real good I think Skype is the only app not running native. Thanks for the content 👍🏾
i own a MacBook Pro m3 Pro 16 inch and a Surface Pro 11 with a Snapdragon. All i need is efficiency and more important battery life. Heavier work i push to my MacBook, but a lot of these chips with windows have truly improved with power and efficiency. And battery life obviously is amazing
So..... A 12 core Snapdragon processor versus an 8 core Intel processor? And then the difference between Intel's 4 efficiency cores and 4 performance cores versus 12 performance cores in Snapdragon? These chips are so different why are they even being compared? Also a 3% difference in battery remaining at the end of your test is not notable at all why are you making a big deal about it?
Bro no dell did not do a good job on the xps, the lack of physical function keys kills it for me and no physical escape key is pretty much a no go for the field I work in, they could have kept the physical esc and function keys and put a fancy Haptic Touch Bar above I guess but not this
My Macbook Air M1 scores ST: 109 and MT: 390 in Cinebench R24. Passive cooling and 4y old... Nice to see competition catch up after 4 years and with active cooling. 😀😀
Would be great to have “geek” section at the end of the videos where you install Linux distribution and run Phoronix set of tests. If I want this machine for work not for mindless games - that content pretty much does not exist.

The X Elite is still DOA!!! They haven’t fixed or even attempted to address systemic printer driver issues! It’s completely worthless to connect to peripherals!
every printer i've used in the last 10 years has wifi or ethernet support and you can print fine with Windows on ARM (and this issue is the same issue with Chromebooks)
The support is just for the sake of time as more people buy into arm, the devs are going. To support it which will make it a better value proposition for the future models. Right now, it doesn’t look good for it for sure
I’m still begging someone to do a comparison of Windows running in Parallels on an M3 Pro MacBook Pro allocated similar specs to a Snapdragon Windows laptop. So a MacBook Pro M3 Pro with 32 GB of RAM, 16 dedicated to Windows. A Snapdragon Arm laptop with 16 gigs of RAM. And dedicate the same number of cores in the CPU and GPU or as close as possible.
Couldn’t agree more. Somehow on the Windows side, I don’t know why, the more thin and compact the laptop is, the prices are over inflated even though the performance levels are absolute trash, so much so that these are not suitable for anything other than TH-cam, Word/Powerpoint and some basic applications.
@@PKperformanceEU Agreed, but it's unfair to compare retail price to second-hand price. Last month I was hoping to get a MBP M2 Pro and the cheapest I could find was about $1500, whereas you can easily find laptops with Snapdragon X Elite for as low as $800. Let's also remember the M2 Pro is almost 2 years old (and it was $2k at release), whereas the Core Ultra 7 256V was released like over a week ago. One year from now the 256V will be way cheaper.
@@seamusforever7081 so what? M2pro 12/19 is literally 90w HX370 lvl and GPU wise 100w 4060m. It is fair comparison when apple’s outdated chips are better than everyone elses current chips.
My Acer i7-12650H has about the same CPU performance. xD Who need 24 hours battery life anyway, thats really niche use case.. If you bought it good job spending 3x more money for the same performance essentially.
tbh, both are flawed. qualcomm still has a LONG way to go in terms of app compatibility, so the fact that the battery life is 10-20-30% better than an x86 comparable laptop is...just a tiny tiny edge case. lunar lake on the other hand, is very handicaped in multicore, i don't even understand why they targeted such a low performance for the multicore and frankly too slow for a 2024/2025 offering in my opinion. i would actually have the hx 370 instead from amd. 100% app compatibility. 80-90% of the qualcomm's battery.
I returned one of these a year ago because it got crazy hot on the surface. Needless to say about the underneath. I wonder if it has improved since then.
Woah!!! You need to tell people that Snapdragon just cancelled their developer kit for the X Elite! This was already *six months* late and they pulled it *2 days* after it had finally gone out. This is a HUGE DEAL as it is a massive setback for Windows on ARM development by third party developers that are supposed to be developing their applications & games etc to make the X Elite able to run more of them. This pushes that availability back by many many months - well into next year in many cases. This means all these launch Snapdragon laptops are lame ducks and not really worth buying. Get a Lunar Lake laptop instead and enjoy similar extended battery life without any compatibility issues. Snapdragon have really blown the launch. It will be next year and the next generation of X Elite CPUs before this situation will likely improve. You guys should make a new video to address this - people are going to be pissed after all the Snapdragon hype. Anyone that bought a Snapdragon laptop at those inflated launch prices has got badly burned.
@@AyoHues did you watch any of the reviews of the Microsoft surface laptop that showed it is amazing? How about the tech chaps video comparison of all the latest laptops? 🤔
This is all false. The point of the dev kit is to give devs something to test on before consumer stuff comes out. Now that snapdragon laptops are readily available the dev kit has no purpose. It does NOT mean developers can’t make ARM apps anymore.
@@Garrus-w2h that’s not my point. Snapdragon launched all the X Elite Co-Pilot laptops showing logos of apps and games that it said were being developed for Windows on ARM and that has been proven to have been untrue to a great extent. The laptops themselves have many strong points - I seriously considered buying a Surface myself. But as every reviewer has pointed out, their major limitation currently is the non-availability of enough compatible software. What is becoming apparent is that 3rd party developers are like 6-9mths behind where they should be and support from Snapdragon and Microsoft has simply not been forthcoming. This means laptop owners won’t see many of these games and applications until later next year which means they are much less desirable now. So anyone in the market should get an x86 laptop instead or wait a year and see how the compatibility situation improves. Either way, expect these launch laptops to be heavily discounted in the next few months.
Waiting for 2nd half of 2025 to see AMD NVIDIA Snapdragon x elite gen2 chips supporting ray tracing directx 12 Feature Level 12_2 having more than 6 TFLOPS with custom gpu like Apple M series. Hope meanwhile ARM issues are addressed and compatibility , improved suuport
As apple's losing its awe factors its not long before they go back to how they used be during their intel days where no one other than apple users buying mac !!!
I seriously had no idea it couldn’t play League of Legends. That’s my go to game since it’s quick to install and very fun. Also easy to run on portable laptops.
@@MaxTechOfficial Then seriously ask yourself, after all those years working in the IT Industry, why you didn‘t look at specs of the game in the first place. You can’t be so superficial, can you?
In this video the snapdragon laptop was 90% faster. It had longer battery life and it even won at 3-D Mark wildlife. I bought the Microsoft surface laptop with snapdragon and it is by far the best Windows laptop I’ve ever bought. It was also way cheaper than any lunar lake laptop. I upgraded the storage for cheap too.
These don't translate much in real-time use, and even if one is slower than its counterpart, it's lots better than not having apps support for most of our use cases!
Intel and AMD maybe survive, BUT NEW ARM V9.2a APPLE M4 Series will hit harder than M3 Series already did. So x86 fanboys and winsheeps prepare for the APL SILICON NUKE👑 Cause its coming💥 😂x86 L
Apple'd become more of how it used to be during its intel days as these x86 chips'd keep getting better in terms on battery life which used to be the one thing that was a game changer during the time of m1's launch !!! Now with x86 able to match that then there's isnt any necessity for non apple user to make the switch !!

I’m still begging someone to do a comparison of Windows running in Parallels on an M3 Pro MacBook Pro allocated similar specs to a Snapdragon Windows laptop. So a MacBook Pro M3 Pro with 32 GB of RAM, 16 dedicated to Windows. A Snapdragon Arm laptop with 16 gigs of RAM. And dedicate the same number of cores in the CPU and GPU or as close as possible.
please do also FL studio tests for Windows laptops
Lunar Lake wins
But the Lunar Lake is 3nm isn't it?! Guess X86 is still inferior to arm in terms of IPC and efficiency.
doesnt matter tho !!! willing to take those trade offs rather than stuck without app support !!!
The xelite was 2 years late due to delays…so to sell at the same price…is a bad bad strategy
Both trash. The prices is insane for this low level of performance
absolutely. Cost as much as a 2nd hand 14 inch m2pro. While being inferior garbage in every possible way
Couldn’t agree more. Somehow on the Windows side, I don’t know why, the more thin and compact the laptop is, the prices are over inflated even though the performance levels are absolute trash, so much so that these are not suitable for anything other than TH-cam, Word/Powerpoint and some basic applications.
Apple has destroyed the competition
@@PKperformanceEU Agreed, but it's unfair to compare retail price to second-hand price. Last month I was hoping to get a MBP M2 Pro and the cheapest I could find was about $1500, whereas you can easily find laptops with Snapdragon X Elite for as low as $800. Let's also remember the M2 Pro is almost 2 years old (and it was $2k at release), whereas the Core Ultra 7 256V was released like over a week ago. One year from now the 256V will be way cheaper.
@@seamusforever7081 so what? M2pro 12/19 is literally 90w HX370 lvl and GPU wise 100w 4060m.
It is fair comparison when apple’s outdated chips are better than everyone elses current chips.
My Acer i7-12650H has about the same CPU performance. xD Who need 24 hours battery life anyway, thats really niche use case.. If you bought it good job spending 3x more money for the same performance essentially.
tbh, both are flawed.
qualcomm still has a LONG way to go in terms of app compatibility, so the fact that the battery life is 10-20-30% better than an x86 comparable laptop is...just a tiny tiny edge case.
lunar lake on the other hand, is very handicaped in multicore, i don't even understand why they targeted such a low performance for the multicore and frankly too slow for a 2024/2025 offering in my opinion.
i would actually have the hx 370 instead from amd.
100% app compatibility.
80-90% of the qualcomm's battery.
Hope mac air gets 120 hz pro motion display too
What kind of iphone case are you using?
Hey you are using 256V. 288V is faster.
Not looking good for intel considering that lunar lake is 3nm
I returned one of these a year ago because it got crazy hot on the surface. Needless to say about the underneath. I wonder if it has improved since then.
Lunar lake is absolutely different Intel chip, its uses TSMC 3nm just like Apple M3, runs ultra cool with insane battery life.
Snapdragon x elite ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Woah!!! You need to tell people that Snapdragon just cancelled their developer kit for the X Elite! This was already *six months* late and they pulled it *2 days* after it had finally gone out. This is a HUGE DEAL as it is a massive setback for Windows on ARM development by third party developers that are supposed to be developing their applications & games etc to make the X Elite able to run more of them. This pushes that availability back by many many months - well into next year in many cases.
This means all these launch Snapdragon laptops are lame ducks and not really worth buying. Get a Lunar Lake laptop instead and enjoy similar extended battery life without any compatibility issues. Snapdragon have really blown the launch. It will be next year and the next generation of X Elite CPUs before this situation will likely improve.
You guys should make a new video to address this - people are going to be pissed after all the Snapdragon hype. Anyone that bought a Snapdragon laptop at those inflated launch prices has got badly burned.
Everything you said is false. Man TH-cam is tiring.
@@Garrus-w2h Did you watch Jeff Geerling’s Dev Kit review yet? 😏
@@AyoHues did you watch any of the reviews of the Microsoft surface laptop that showed it is amazing? How about the tech chaps video comparison of all the latest laptops? 🤔
This is all false. The point of the dev kit is to give devs something to test on before consumer stuff comes out. Now that snapdragon laptops are readily available the dev kit has no purpose. It does NOT mean developers can’t make ARM apps anymore.
@@Garrus-w2h that’s not my point. Snapdragon launched all the X Elite Co-Pilot laptops showing logos of apps and games that it said were being developed for Windows on ARM and that has been proven to have been untrue to a great extent. The laptops themselves have many strong points - I seriously considered buying a Surface myself. But as every reviewer has pointed out, their major limitation currently is the non-availability of enough compatible software. What is becoming apparent is that 3rd party developers are like 6-9mths behind where they should be and support from Snapdragon and Microsoft has simply not been forthcoming. This means laptop owners won’t see many of these games and applications until later next year which means they are much less desirable now. So anyone in the market should get an x86 laptop instead or wait a year and see how the compatibility situation improves. Either way, expect these launch laptops to be heavily discounted in the next few months.
Very random, but I can't get Steel Nomad to work on any laptop with a discreet GPU. It always errors out when it loads. Weird.
Waiting for 2nd half of 2025 to see AMD NVIDIA Snapdragon x elite gen2 chips supporting ray tracing directx 12 Feature Level 12_2 having more than 6 TFLOPS with custom gpu like Apple M series. Hope meanwhile ARM issues are addressed and compatibility , improved suuport
As apple's losing its awe factors its not long before they go back to how they used be during their intel days where no one other than apple users buying mac !!!
x86 is dying, still slower than my mbp m1 in speedometer 3.0 lol
speedometer doesnt really mean anything - yk right ???
I am so disappointed of you choosing a game wich is not compatible to ARM. How much does Intel pays you ?
I seriously had no idea it couldn’t play League of Legends. That’s my go to game since it’s quick to install and very fun. Also easy to run on portable laptops.
@@MaxTechOfficial Then seriously ask yourself, after all those years working in the IT Industry, why you didn‘t look at specs of the game in the first place. You can’t be so superficial, can you?
@@yorkan213swd6 even macOS supports League of Legends for many years now, I assumed everything could play it. I don’t play games very often anymore.
X86 chip what a come back
In this video the snapdragon laptop was 90% faster. It had longer battery life and it even won at 3-D Mark wildlife. I bought the Microsoft surface laptop with snapdragon and it is by far the best Windows laptop I’ve ever bought. It was also way cheaper than any lunar lake laptop. I upgraded the storage for cheap too.
@@Garrus-w2h good luck for gaming .
@@roshanlalverma340 people talked about gaming with the old Intel chips and they were always too slow to actually play any games at all
These don't translate much in real-time use, and even if one is slower than its counterpart, it's lots better than not having apps support for most of our use cases!
@@roshanlalverma340 I’d say I can actually play more games on the snapdragon laptop then I could on my old Windows laptop
intel just like nasa guys,
XPs 13 sucks. Keyboard without real function buttons. I have one and I try not to use as much as possible. Keyboard sucks too in general
nope. both are dead. m4 macs will take over
and intel will die like the blackerry died
You can't even get a 16gb variant without paying a premium in macs. I would say no it won't .
Apple has destroyed the competition
@@arunkumar.k3406 not anymore the m4 macbook pro leaked has a base 16gb ram
@@maxweinbach3996 true
Apple is watching like oh give me till October 29th.
Snapdragon x elite Win ❤
Intel x86 now outdated architecture 💩
Absolutely 200% right, x86 is crap and i wont go into the technical stuff for some ignorant youtube commenters, LONG LIVE ARM64!
Intel and AMD maybe survive, BUT NEW ARM V9.2a APPLE M4 Series will hit harder than M3 Series already did.
So x86 fanboys and winsheeps prepare for the APL SILICON NUKE👑 Cause its coming💥
😂x86 L
Apple'd become more of how it used to be during its intel days as these x86 chips'd keep getting better in terms on battery life which used to be the one thing that was a game changer during the time of m1's launch !!! Now with x86 able to match that then there's isnt any necessity for non apple user to make the switch !!
first one to comment love from India
but no luv for apple in india cuz of high tax rate !!
