I think that the difference in performance is negligible now that Qualcomm has 1.2 Gbps modem and Intel has 1Gbps for iPhone X2. What really matters and hope that Intel improved on, is the signal reception. Last gen was pretty good still, but speed dropped faster compared to Qualcomm modem. Speeds over 500mbps are already fast enough, so what is left to do really is to improve power consumption and signal reception.
