The Kirin 9006C was recently announced by Huawei for its Qingyun L540 and Qingyun L420 family of notebooks. Unfortunately, just like the Kirin 9000S and Kirin 9000SL, the single-core and multi-core performance is yet to match what the competition offers, but that is how difficult things become when you have global trade sanctions limiting your options.
Qualcomm Claims Its Snapdragon X Elite Is 21 Percent Faster Than Apple’s M3 In Multi-Core Performance; ‘It’s Good Hardware,’ Says PR Manager
18.12.2023 - 08:17 / wccftech.com
The Snapdragon X Elite was announced in late October, and shortly after, Apple countered with its first 3nm chipsets for the Mac lineup, the M3, M3 Pro, and the M3 Max, which also launched in the same month. The San Diego firm has come out with a bold statement now, claiming that its latest SoC is up to 21 percent faster than the M3 in multi-core performance. However, despite supposedly having the edge, a Qualcomm PR manager says that the experience will be different, and that has to do with both chipsets powering different operating systems.
In an image uploaded by Digital Trends, it is revealed that the Snapdragon X Elite obtains a multi-core score of 15,300, whereas the M3 is trailing behind Qualcomm’s silicon, with a score of 12,154. The test performed was Geekbench 6, but Qualcomm cleverly omitted one important detail from these results; the Snapdragon X Elite’s power limit. Remember that every CPU has a power limit that allows its cores to run at faster clock speeds but at a higher power draw.
With the Snapdragon X Elite, you get two power limits, 23W and 80W, with earlier tests showing that the SoC with the lower power limit can be slower than the M2 in different tests. Though the 80W undoubtedly increases multi-core performance, it is at the expense of excessive heat and a temperature spike. However, despite these advantages, the experience will be different compared to using the M3 on macOS, according to Sascha Segan, who is the senior public relations manager. She hints that macOS is a better operating system than Windows but states that the hardware is good.
“The experience is not going to be the same because they’re running macOS and we’re running Windows, but in terms of hardware, which is the only thing we can control, it’s good hardware.”
Segan has also said that consumers should not waste their funds on buying a new laptop right now and wait for the first wave of Snapdragon-powered notebooks to flood the market. Though we have seen how capable the Snapdragon X Elite is, that is only in benchmarks, where reference laptops were tested, so we have to wait and see how consumer-grade machines perform when they officially launch, so stay tuned.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Director Apologizes for the 12-Year Wait, Says He Wanted to Make a Sequel Right Away
Dragon's Dogma 2 is less than three months away from being released. Just a year and a half ago, this remained a pipe dream for fans of the original action RPG, as ten years had passed without a sequel. Then the June 2022 announcement came and they could finally rejoice.

Dragon's Dogma 2 director apologizes for the long wait for the JRPG, says its best ideas were inspired by lack of sleep
The original Dragon's Dogma from developer Capcom took some time to find its audience, but it eventually became a cult favorite in the years following its 2012 release. As Capcom's first attempt at an open-world action RPG, it blended a swords and sorcery high-fantasy conceit with the developer's pedigree for delivering fast and epic action from similar games like Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry. But with the upcoming sequel, the developers are looking to up the ante in many ways -- even including ideas that wouldn't have worked for the first game. In a recent issue of Play magazine (issue 35), which is on sale now, game director Hideaki Itsuno took some time to reflect on the original game and what he hopes to achieve with the long-awaited sequel -- and how exactly he came up with the sequel's massively upgraded world.

Goodreads has too much power for its moderation to be this bad
For the past week, I’ve been watching Goodreads drama happen in what feels like slow motion. Debut author Cait Corrain admitted to fabricating at least six Goodreads user accounts, and leaving negative reviews (including one-star ratings) of other debut authors’ books — many of whom were authors of color. On Monday, her publisher dropped her book Crown of Starlight, and Corrain posted a mea culpa on X (formerly Twitter).
