Qualcomm's new Snapdragon C processor, based on the five-year-old Snapdragon 778G design, has been upgraded with higher CPU and GPU clock speeds. However, analysts suggest its performance still falls short of Apple's MacBook Neo. The MacBook Neo, known for its efficient Apple Silicon chips, continues to set a high bar in laptop performance. The Snapdragon C's improvements are limited to clock speed adjustments, which do not significantly close the gap with the MacBook Neo's capabilities. This highlights the ongoing challenge for Qualcomm in competing with Apple's custom silicon in the laptop market. The performance gap remains notable, even with the updated specifications.
