Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx was supposed to be the chipmaker’s answer to Intel’s low-power offerings and give users access to computing performance and unbelievable battery life in times of need. The Snapdragon 850 before this turned out to be a bitter disappointment as revealed in earlier performance leaks and that only meant that its successor would have to feature something special to counter Intel’s dominance in this sector. It has to an extent, but the latest Snapdragon 8cx benchmark reveals Qualcomm’s work has been significantly cut out, and those future iterations will need to boast significant levels of improvement to give the company a modicum of a chance to succeed in this space.

According to Snapdragon 8cx benchmarks via Geekbench, the SoC titled ‘Qualcomm CLS’ obtained 3352 points in the single-core tests, and accumulated 11048 points in the multi-core results. The scores were earlier spotted by Longhorn on Twitter, with the thread showing that the Snapdragon 8cx was slower than the iPad Pro powered by Apple’s A10X Fusion silicon from 2017, at least in the single-core department.
