the Snapdragon X Elite has an AI performance of 45 trillion operations per second (45 TOPS). This is more than double what the Apple M3’s Neural Engine is capable of

That's misleading. QC usually takes the whole package (cpu,NPU,ISP, gpu) when presents their numbers, and in this occasion they also mentioned those 45TOPS where at 4bit Precision while apple are probably at 16bit. Until some product is out we can't be certain.

You are mistaken.

-45 TOPS is for the NPU alone. The combined value of CPU, GPU, BPU is 75 TOPS.
-45 TOPS is for 8-bit (INT8) precision.

Go watch the event again.

You are correct about those 45 for the NPU alone and 75 using all the SoC, but I cant find the precision, at what minute is it?
