Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 is 4xX1 + 4xA78, with no A55s.

I eat my statement. That looks like a better configuration than an octa-A78C, but only if the licensing cost is the same or you REALLY have a need for the latest extensions.
So, it actually is X1C and A78C.

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2022/02/28/mwc-2... references PAC support, which is only in the C variant of those cores.

Good catch. I wasn't even aware there was an X1C! Then again, my daily driver is a 1 or 2 core Cortex-M. On special occasions (once a month or so) something more exotic lands on my desk.
