If you're referring to my comment, I'm not comparing the 8cx gen 3 to 8cx gen1, I'm comparing 8cx gen 3 (this desktop/laptop chip) to 8 gen 1 (QCOMM's flagship phone SoC).
As I said in my comment, QCOMM's naming sucks. cx is their desktop/laptop line. They have no designation for their phone line, so the confusion isn't surprising.
