I thought the X line was aiming for performance.

Yes it is for performance. But it is performance at a reasonable cost.

The new Qualcomm Oryon chips are more powerful but also much more expensive. So the X lineup is actually quite reasonable if you want smartphones to be "affordable".

Oh, these are cellphone chips. I guess we’ll have to wait for the next Neoverse before we get interesting comparisons to Apple’s M chips and Intel/AMD’s mainline ones.
