News Nuvia-based Snapdragon X Elite GPU benchmarks appear in database

Here's the problem. First, the benchmark is built for x86 Windows and is being executed using hardware and software virtualisation tricks on the ARM based X Elite. No one should expect a benchmark of this sort to run fast on the X Elite (even after optimisations). Second, there is no difference between the SD X Elite and the SD 8cx Gen 4 - that is just two different names for the same processor. The SD 8cx Gen 4 was just a best guess at what the new processor would be called and the guess was wrong. The varying reported results show that the data is unreliable.
 
How about you people do some BASIC RESEARCH?!
You'd get a simple and obvious answer - FLOPS.
The Elite X GPU is officially rated at 4,5TFLOPS.. and that is lower than even the Snapdragon Gen 3 GPU(4.7TFLOPS according to Nanoreview.com).

Maybe the explanation is that the Elite dates more back than the latest smartphone chips which are developed in the prompt cadence, given the overdue and delayed development of the Oryon cores. So the GPU configuration is also dated compared to smartphone chips.

I’d imagine the two GPUs use the same architecture. 4.5TFlopsbis a very powerful iGPU. The Radeon 780m tops out at 4.3Tflops.

And what even is nanoreviews source? They seem like an amateur website that just copies data off of review sites and youtube videos. How did they even calculate the 8gen3's tflops?

Honestly, that is a valid question since some other sources put the Gen 3 at 3.5TFLOPS.
Nanoreview is a serious site though, they are big and often cited source.

Also, the Dimensity 9300 is rated at 3.9TFLOPS at the least per all other sources, and 6TFLOPS at nanoreview..
Nanoreview is the only site that gives FLOPS for all GPU's actoss the industry. For example, the Radeon 780M is correctly rated at at 8TFLOPS so in that respect the X Elite results are perfectly in line.

Nanoreview is a pretty new site, only been up for like 3 years. Even anandtech who used to do extensive mobile soc reviews never gave a flopcount for any of them. Nanoreview has zero sources mentioned for anything. Why are they even cited by anybody? Probably by some casual tech sites.

780m isnt hard to correctly rate when its provided by amd itself.
