Qualcomm Unveils Even More Snapdragon X Elite PC CPU Benchmarks: 23W & 80W Reference Laptops Tested

wccftech.com:

Qualcomm has provided even more benchmarks of its upcoming Snapdragon X Elite PC CPU featuring the Oryon core architecture.

Following the initial unveil and benchmarks, Qualcomm gave a further deep-dive of its next-gen Snapdragon X Elite CPU platforms which will be powering its fleet of Windows PCs in the coming next year. You can find more details on the architecture side of things here.

During the hand-off presentation, Qualcomm had two reference laptops set up for the audiences which included a 28W efficiency-focused model and an 80W high-performance variant. The thin & light configuration was running a Snapdragon X Elite CPU with a 4.0 GHz (2-core) and 3.4 GHz (all-core) boost frequency while the performance-focused system was running the chip with a clock of 4.3 GHz (2-Core) and 3.8 GHz (All-Core) boost.

There are additional differences for both reference laptops with the 80W configuration using a 16.5" screen with a maximum resolution of 3840x2160 and a bigger 87Wh battery while the 28W configuration uses a 14.5" OLED screen with a maximum resolution of 2880x1800 and a 58Wh battery. Both models featured active cooling and were equipped with the latest LPDDR5x-8533 system memory. The thinner laptop, as the name suggests, was just 15mm thick while the 80W variant had a thickness of 16.8mm.

The performance of both chips was evaluated in various benchmarks such as Cinebench 2024, Geekbench 6, 3DMark Wildlife Extreme, Aztec Ruins, and UL Procyon AI. Both 28W and 80W CPU variants of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite series were tested against a range of chips from Apple, Intel, and AMD. The competitor results are at their maximum achievable performance using unconstrained power limits. The platforms included:
