However, it's worth remembering that Geekbench is an awful way of determining the performance of a processor or a laptop as a whole. The multi-core score is closer to that of a Core i7-1185G7 and Ryzen 7 5800U, which come in at 5,518 and 5,524 from our results, respectively. Microsoft's SQ2 and the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 both got around 800 for this. Of course, these are all last-gen processors. It also beats the 969 single-core score of the Ryzen 5 4500U.
GEEKBENCH SCORES PRO
Qualcomm compares its Snapdragon 8cx chipsets to an Intel Core i5, so in our testing, this is comparable to the 1,085 single-core score on the Core i5-1035G4 in the Surface Pro 7. Now, let's talk about how it compares to the rest of the market. While I was definitely impressed with it, I wasn't allowed to benchmark it, so this is the first that we're seeing of that. This is a properly new chipset, and we actually got to spend over a day with a reference device at Snapdragon Technology Summit in December. The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 is a different story though. Even the so-called custom chips that Microsoft makes for the Surface Pro X are rebranded Snapdragon 8cx units. While they're four different brands, they're all essentially the same chip, with subtle tweaks to get a bit more performance in the newer ones. So far in the Windows PC market, we've seen the Snapdragon 8cx, Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2, Microsoft SQ1, and Microsoft SQ2. The results are mixed, ranging from 867 to 1,005 on single-core, and 4,748 to 5,574 on multi-core.
Spotted by WinFuture, Geekbench scores have appeared for a Surface device with a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. Now, it seems that it's finally time for a proper Surface Pro X 2, or at the very least, some new ARM-based Surface device from Microsoft.
