Apple's M4 Pro chipset defeated Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme in graphics performance tests conducted by ComputerBase. The M4 Pro achieved scores up to 45.7 percent higher in 3DMark Steel Nomad Light Unlimited, and it outperformed the Snapdragon chip by 37.45 percent in 3DMark Solar Bar Unlimited. Qualcomm manufactured its silicon using TSMC's advanced 3-nanometer N3P architecture, yet the chip failed to match Apple's performance despite the newer production process.
The Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme secured victories in most compute benchmarks against the M4 Pro. Qualcomm's processor scored 6.53 percent faster in Geekbench 6.3 single-core testing, and it posted 5.07 percent better results in multi-core workloads. The M4 Pro claimed a narrow 7.45 percent advantage in Cinebench 2024 single-core tests, but the Snapdragon chip dominated the multi-core category with a 16.97 percent lead.
