Qualcomm may be marginally faster in some head to head comparisons now, and in most I’ve seen they’re on parity with Intel in current iPhones. That’s just the data without opinion.No they are not, Qualcomm's current X24 LTE modem is clearly better so we can exclude 5G no problem and Qualcomm is still ahead.
Also Qualcomm has been using 4x4 MIMO tech since their X12 LTE modem.
If a direct comparison is made Qualcomm's modems will definitely win most of time against Intel's modems. This is why people say that Qualcomm's modems are better. Qualcomm's modem doesn't have to win 100% of the time to be better.
Here’s what has nothing to do with Qualcomm modems now:
- How long they’ve been using 4x4 MIMO versus Intel
- That they used to be much better, such as in the iPhone X
- What their modems might do in the future
- How small their die process will be in the future
- Your obvious opinion that they’re better
