Foreign tech media Tom’s Hardware has released its 2023 CPU rankings today, after publishing its 2023 GPU ladder chart a few days ago.

The media outlet ran thousands of tests on new and older Intel and AMD processors and ranked them based on tool scores, frame rates of games, and more.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, priced at $699, topped the list. The chip uses AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology to accelerate gaming performance, but it’s not yet available for all games.

Intel’s counterpart is the Core i9-13900KS, which can be clocked at over 6.0GHz. This CPU is not a huge improvement over the standard Core i9-13900K.

The chart includes AMD’s 64-core, 128-thread Threadripper Pro 5995WX, as well as the 32-core, 64-thread Threadripper Pro 5975WX and 3975WX. These chips offer amazingly powerful performance in games, but they are specifically targeted at the workstation market.

Now PCMAG has released the CPU performance test of this notebook.

In Cinebench R23, the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 multicore scores 2676 points, which is less than the Acer TravelMate P6’s i7-1165G7, less than half of the Gateway 14’s i5-1235U, and far less than the XPS 13 Plus’ i7-1280P.

In Geekbench, the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 multi-core score of 5845 outpaces the i7-1165G7 and i5-1235U and is about 59% of the i7-1280P.

In terms of core performance, the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 scores 916 in the 3DMark TimeSpy DX12 test, which is less than the 96EU cores of the 11th and 12th generation Cores.

In terms of battery life, the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 shows the advantages of the Arm processor, with the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s playing 720p video at 50% brightness for 18 hours and 23 minutes, compared to 11 hours and 19 minutes for the i5-1235U-powered Gateway 14 notebook and over 8 hours and 6 minutes for the i7-1280P-powered XPS 13 Plus.

Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 was released at the end of last year, using a 5nm process. Qualcomm’s website does not give detailed specifications, except that its CPU multitasking performance is improved by up to 85%, GPU performance is improved by up to 60%, and it can support up to 25 hours of battery life on a single charge.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13s comes with a 13.3-inch 16:10 LED-backlit touchscreen display with WUXGA (1920×1200) resolution, 100% sRGB color gamut, 300nit brightness, a magnesium body, weighing only 1.06kg and 13.4mm thick; running Windows 11 ARM, with pre-installed Office, 16GB dual-channel RAM and 512GB SSD, fanless design, WiFi 6E support, built-in SIM card, 5G network support and 12 months of traffic by default.
