It is already well known that Apple splits the modem manufacturing between both Intel and Qualcomm, and the iPhone X is no different. Whether the iPhone X you bought has Intel or Qualcomm inside depends on the source of the purchase and network that you are using.
Intel iPhone X faster than Qualcomm’s
As has been reported with the previous iPhones, splitting the modem production results in some iPhones being faster than others. Reportedly, the same is the case with some iPhone X units as well.

This is in contrast to what Cellular Insights found after it tested Qualcomm and Intel iPhone 7 Plus models last year.
On AT&T and T-Mobile networks, which support both Intel and Qualcomm models, the Intel modem was faster compared to Qualcomm, claims SpeedSmart.
