"It's important to note that this was all tested on the X2 Elite Extreme configuration, which comes with six additional CPU cores over the standard X2 Elite. There were no X2 Elite systems to test, so we don't know what those multi-core scores will be. I've been told that GPU performance will also scale up on the X2 Elite, but we don't yet know how much faster the X2 Elite Extreme is over its sibling."
"The exact chip from the benchmarking session, the X2E-96-100, represents the top-tier performance in the lineup, with 18 cores and a dual-core 5-GHz boost. This is the chip that will be sold as the X2 Elite Extreme. Confusingly, there are two Snapdragon X2 Elite chips, one that also has 18 cores and one with 12 cores. The difference between the two 18-core models is memory bandwidth."
Benchmarks were conducted on an X2 Elite Extreme reference laptop that includes six additional CPU cores compared with the standard X2 Elite, leaving X2 Elite multi-core scores unknown. GPU performance on X2 Elite is expected to scale, but the exact delta versus the Extreme is not yet established. The reference unit is a 16-inch chassis with greater thermal headroom, so smaller or thinner laptops may perform differently. Qualcomm displayed other reference designs including a 2-in-1, mini PC, and all-in-one. Three SKUs exist: a top-tier X2E-96-100 (18 cores, dual-core 5 GHz boost) and two X2 Elite variants (18-core and 12-core), all with an 80 TOPS NPU; Elite chips use 8-channel memory while the Elite Extreme integrates 12-channel memory.
