Qualcomm announces Snapdragon X2 Plus for cheaper laptops
"Back in September, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon X2 Elite and Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chipsets for Windows on Arm laptops, and today it's introducing the cheaper option in the portfolio, the Snapdragon X2 Plus. This is the successor to the Snapdragon X Plus from September 2024. The Snapdragon X2 Plus uses the third generation Oryon CPU and it has an 80 TOPS NPU."
"It's made on a 3nm process. It comes in two versions - 10-core and 6-core. The 10-core version has 34MB of total cache, and a maximum multithread frequency of 4GHz. The 6-core version obviously has six CPU cores, with 22MB total cache, and the same maximum 4GHz frequency. The two share the same X2-45 GPU, but in the 10-core version it's clocked at up to 1.7GHz, whereas the six-core option has to make do with 900MHz."
"Both support LPDDR5X RAM and have the same NPU with 80 TOPS, which Qualcomm says is the fastest in a laptop. The company promises no drop in performance when on battery, as well as "multi-day battery life" but that obviously depends on what size cells laptop makers will use. Speaking of which, the first laptops with the Snapdragon X2 Plus are expected to hit the market by the end of June."
The Snapdragon X2 Plus uses third-generation Oryon CPU on a 3nm process and includes an 80 TOPS NPU. It ships in 10-core and 6-core variants; the 10-core has 34MB total cache and a 4GHz maximum multithread frequency, while the 6-core has 22MB cache and the same 4GHz top frequency. Both use the X2-45 GPU, with the 10-core clocked up to 1.7GHz and the 6-core at 900MHz. Both support LPDDR5X RAM, optional 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and up to 128GB RAM. The company promises no performance drop on battery and multi-day battery life, and first laptops are expected by the end of June. The X2 Plus delivers up to 35% faster single-core CPU performance than the X Plus while using 43% less power.
