Qualcomm calls out Intel for highlighting a processor with little retail availability that may not have been available for benchmarking.

Qualcomm alleges Intel highlighted only the numbers that made the Core Ultra Series 2 chips look fastest.

Intel 's Core Ultra 9 288V chip is not included in any currently sold laptops.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite X1E-84-100 is Qualcomm 's top-performing laptop processor.

Qualcomm claims Snapdragon X's peak performance reached with dramatically less power than Intel and less heat build-up when comparing the same workloads in the same Dell XPS 13 chassis.

NPU performance and its importance to consumers are still unproven, even as AI PCs slowly gain a place in the market.
