Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X2 Arm CPU pops up in Geekbench and wallops the x86 laptop competition by over 30% in single-core performance

Qualcomm's new second-gen Snapdragon X2 CPU has appeared in the Geekbench results browser for the first time (via Notebookcheck) and posted some pretty impressive numbers. In terms of single-core performance, it's over 30% faster than the best laptop CPUs from AMD and Intel.

Geekbench is but one metric and obviously not a real-world application. But especially when it comes to single-core performance, it tends to align reasonably well with actual, usable performance.

For the record...
