The Snapdragon X Elite’s built-in GPU is also said to use 50 percent less power in the same task.

Qualcomm also compared the performance of the Snapdragon X Elite to that of the Intel Core 9 Ultra 9 155H. The Snapdragon CPU is said to be approximately 51 percent faster than the Intel Core 9 Ultra chip in single-threaded tasks in Geekbench 6 with a comparable power consumption of approximately 9 watts. The Snapdragon In the multithreaded test, Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon

The Snapdragon X Elite was announced in October 2023. This concerns an Arm chip that is based on technology from chip designer Nuvia, which was acquired by Qualcomm in 2021. The Snapdragon Those cores are based on the Arm-v9 architecture. In addition, there is an npu cluster for AI tasks, which makes it possible to run large language models with 13 billion parameters locally. The SoC can be combined with a maximum of 64GB Lpddr5x memory with a bandwidth of 136GB/s. For storage, the Soc supports SD 3.0, NVMe over PCIe Gen 4 and UFS 4.0. The modem supports 5G up to 10Gbit/s and a maximum of Wi-Fi 7.

Qualcomm says it is working with Microsoft on compatibility of Arm systems with Windows, so that more and more apps can run natively on Arm. The Snapdragon The first laptops with the Snapdragon X Elite should appear this year, but further details are unknown.
