Snapdragon X Elite Can Generate Up To 10 Times More Images For A Single Prompt In Stable Diffusion 1.5 Compared To The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU
The Snapdragon X Elite is slated to power a slew of notebooks in mid-2024, but before the first products materialize, Qualcomm decided to show off a bit when it comes to image generation. The company placed its flagship SoC tailor-made for portable machines and put it up against Intel’s Core Ultra 7 155H, which offers a 16-core configuration and is designed to excel in multi-threaded workloads. However, when both chips are running Stable Diffusion 1.5, the Snapdragon X Elite does not just obtain the upper hand but also runs circles around its newest competitor regarding AI image generation.
Two AI image generation prompts were run, and the Snapdragon X Elite utterly dominated the Core Ultra 7 155H
Before we get into the benchmarks, let us go over a few specifications of both the Snapdragon X Elite and the Core Ultra 7 155H. Stable Diffusion 1.5 takes advantage of the NPU belonging to both silicon, but the Snapdragon X Elite dominates its latest rival when it comes to image generation. In the first prompt, which was a ‘bundle of berries,’ Qualcomm’s SoC finished the test in 7.25 seconds, generating the image three times faster than the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, which generated the same image in 22.26 seconds.

If that was not enough to speak volumes of the Snapdragon X Elite’s AI generation capabilities, it could also create 10x faster images when prompted to create a ‘majestic lion basking in the golden afternoon sun.’ In the video below, you can see that the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H generates an image every 12 seconds, whereas the Snapdragon X Elite completes the same task in a single second, cementing its authority on one of Intel’s processors.
The latest SoC is no slouch in multi-core performance either, with an earlier Geekbench 6 run revealing that it is up to 21 percent faster than the M3 and can operate on two power limits of 23W and 80W to provide users
