The representative said the research fails to account for performance metrics beyond data rates and latency.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Older Modem Used in Comparison, Qualcomm Says<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Qualcomm X80 modem used in the Ookla comparison is &#8220;from two generations ago,&#8221; the representative stated. Hundreds of devices globally now run Qualcomm&#8217;s X85 Modem-RF system, making the benchmark less relevant to current products.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, Qualcomm said it has already moved beyond the X85. The company said it &#8220;already moved the bar further&#8221; with its recently announced X105 platform, widening the gap further from the chip Apple tested against.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology Questions Cloud Ookla Findings<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qualcomm questioned the validity of the Ookla results on methodological grounds. The representative said the results are difficult to assess &#8220;because the methodology used to calculate these KPIs and their relevance to real-world application performance is not clear.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ookla conducted its <a href=\"\/category\/telecom\/\">telecommunications<\/a> tests on 5G networks during Q4 2025. The research firm itself acknowledged that outcomes could differ when compared against later generations of Qualcomm RF modems.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Form Factor Noted as a Variable<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One aspect of the comparison involves Apple&#8217;s iPhone Air, a slimline device. The thin form factor implies users would not need to compromise on device size to access similar data rate and latency performance, according to the Ookla framing.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Qualcomm said the comparison oversimplifies what <a href=\"\/category\/mobile-devices\/\">mobile device<\/a> connectivity involves. The company argued that RF modem performance encompasses far more than the two metrics Ookla highlighted.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qualcomm RF Modem Roadmap Targets Real-World Performance<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At MWC26 Barcelona, Qualcomm outlined its modem-RF roadmap to industry stakeholders. The company stated its roadmap focuses on &#8220;delivering tangible improvements in application performance, reliability and user experience, not optimising for isolated benchmarks.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement positions Qualcomm&#8217;s strategy as broader than benchmark competition. As <a href=\"\/category\/telecom\/\">telecom<\/a> chipmakers face growing pressure from device manufacturers developing in-house silicon, Qualcomm is emphasising system-level performance as its differentiator.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;The methodology used to calculate these KPIs and their relevance to real-world application performance is not clear.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Qualcomm Representative<\/cite><\/blockquote><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context: Apple&#8217;s In-House Modem Push<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple&#8217;s C1X represents the company&#8217;s effort to reduce reliance on third-party <a href=\"\/category\/mobile-devices\/\">mobile<\/a> chip suppliers. The C1X debuted in the iPhone Air, marking a significant step in Apple&#8217;s multi-year modem development programme.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qualcomm supplies modems to a wide range of Android device makers. Consequently, any narrowing of the performance gap between Apple&#8217;s in-house chip and Qualcomm&#8217;s products carries commercial implications for both companies and the broader smartphone market.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Qualcomm disputed Ookla research comparing its X80 modem with Apple&#8217;s C1X chip, saying the study used an outdated product and lacked methodological clarity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":62287,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_pr_autopilot_social_copy":"{\"x_hook\":\"Qualcomm is pushing back on research suggesting Apple's C1X modem is closing the performance gap \u2014 saying the study compared Apple's chip against a model that is two generations old.\",\"x_takeaways\":\"Key Details:\\n\ud83d\udd39 Ookla tested Apple's C1X against Qualcomm's X80 \u2014 a chip Qualcomm says is two generations behind its current X85\\n\ud83d\udd39 Qualcomm's newer X105 platform has since been announced, moving the benchmark further\\n\ud83d\udd39 Qualcomm says the study's methodology for calculating KPIs and real-world relevance is unclear\"}","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_image":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_image_id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_twitter_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_image_id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":0,"_extra_hide_author_box":"","_extra_featured_post":"","_partner_post_id":84071,"footnotes":""},"categories":[441,22],"tags":[2815,41,2740,555,2816],"class_list":["post-62288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mobile-devices","category-telecom","tag-5g-modem","tag-apple","tag-c1x-modem","tag-qualcomm","tag-x80-modem","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
