Qualcomm is a new player in the laptop chips market and made its debut last year only. While the performance of the chips, the Snapdragon X Elite, was good, with a phenomenal battery life, there were a few things that did not go in its favor, firstly gaming and then its launch price. The chip maker has finally planned to address these issues this year with its brand new offer: The Snapdragon X (model X1-2E-100).

Snapdragon X Technicalities

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor features 8 Oryon CPU cores running at 3.0 GHz, with a total cache of 30 MB and an impressive 135 GB/s memory bandwidth. Its NPU delivers up to 45 TOPS, nearly 3.7X faster than the Intel Core Ultra 7, according to the company. Built on a 4nm process, it’s designed to be energy-efficient. The Qualcomm Adreno GPU provides strong performance, reaching up to 1.7 TFLOPS.
