"Well, this sure isn't going to re-ignite the x86 vs. ARM performance arguments, right? Early, admittedly controlled, benchmarks from the new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme show it wiping the floor with top new CPUs from AMD and Intel in both single-core and multi-core performance. Here are the results from Geekbench 6.5 and how they compare against the likes of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V and Qualcomm's original Snapdragon X Elite as tested by PCWorld."
"Qualcomm announced three chips in the X2 generation - the X2 Elite Extreme (96), X2 Elite (88) and X2 Elite (80) with different CPU, GPU and cache configurations, though the same 80 TOPS NPU (more on that in a bit). However, during the launch event, the company allowed only the top chip (Elite Extreme) to be tested and in Qualcomm-controlled circumstances. Still, journalists were allowed to observe the tests running."
Early controlled benchmarks show the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme outperforming top AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Intel Core Ultra 7 258V in single-core and multi-core Geekbench 6.5 and Cinebench 2024 tests. The X2 Elite Extreme features an 18-core CPU: 12 Prime cores at 4.4GHz (boosting to 5.0GHz thermally) and six Performance cores at 3.6GHz. Qualcomm announced three X2 chips (96, 88, 80) sharing an 80 TOPS NPU; only the Elite Extreme was tested under Qualcomm-controlled conditions. Tests used plugged-in laptops with reportedly identical battery performance. Test devices had 48GB DDR5X RAM; the Extreme supports soldered or external memory.
