There is also support for USB 4, 120 Hz screens, a built-in Wi-Fi 7 adapter, and a 5G modem Together with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 smartphone platform, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon X Elite single-chip system for laptops running Windows. Yes, this is another attempt by Qualcomm to release a worthy replacement for Intel processors, but this time everything can work out - the characteristics of the Snapdragon X Elite look very good. At least on paper and in words. [caption id="attachment_73353" align="aligncenter" width="650"] Snapdragon X Elite[/caption] Snapdragon X Elite - 4nm. It received an Oryon central processor with 12 cores with a frequency of 3.8 GHz. When loading one or two cores, the frequency can increase to 4.3 GHz. The total cache memory is 42 MB. The Snapdragon X Elite includes an Adreno graphics processor with a performance of 4.6 TFLOPS - this is more than that of the PlayStation 4 Pro or Xbox Series S. The Snapdragon X Elite also has a neural processor with a performance of 45 TOPS. [caption id="attachment_73354" align="aligncenter" width="355"] Snapdragon X Elite[/caption] Snapdragon X Elite is more powerful than Core i7-13800H, faster than Apple M2 compatible with Windows 12 The platform supports LPDDR5X RAM up to 64 GB (the controller is eight-channel). Snapdragon X Elite is compatible not only with traditional PCIe Gen 4 SSDs but also with UFS 4.0 and SD v3.0 flash memory chips. The platform has a built-in 5G Snapdragon X65 modem, and there are also integrated Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 adapters. If we talk about interface connectors, up to three USB 4, two USB 3.2 Gen 2, and DisplayPort 1.4 are supported (the picture can be displayed on three 4K monitors with a frame rate of 60 Hz or two monitors with a 5K resolution). Unveiling the Snapdragon X Elite, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said the new SoC outperforms the 12-core Apple M2 Max and 14-core Intel Core i7-1355U in terms of single-threaded performance. At peak performance, power consumption is only a third of that of the M2 Max or Core i7-1360P. In general, in words and on paper everything is very cheerful, but we will find out how it turns out in reality in the middle of next year: according to Qualcomm representatives, it is at this time that ready-made devices based on Snapdragon X Elite from Microsoft, Lenovo, Dell and HP will appear.

It will appear next year We can finally understand which Qualcomm platforms will compete with Apple M in the PC market. Data from an upcoming presentation has leaked online, where the Snapdragon X Elite SoC is described.  [caption id="attachment_73021" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Snapdragon X Elite[/caption] Apparently, Snapdragon X will be a new line, and the Elite model will take the place of the flagship in it. The new platform will receive a 12-core processor based on Oryon cores. with a frequency of up to 4.3 GHz. These are new cores for Qualcomm, created based on the developments of Nuvia, which Qualcomm bought some time ago. All parameters of the SoC Snapdragon X Elite revealed The Adreno GPU (without a personal number or name yet) is characterized by a performance of 4.6 TFLOPS. This is a lot for an Arm single-chip system, but far from a record. For example, the Apple M2 Pro has a GPU with a capacity of 6.8 TFLOPS, while the M2 Ultra has a GPU capacity of 27.2 TFLOPS. In addition, teraflops describe “pure” performance, which has a very indirect relationship to the real tasks of ordinary users. [caption id="attachment_73022" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Snapdragon X Elite[/caption] The Snapdragon X Elite will also support LPDDR5X-8533 memory with an eight-channel controller, 136 GB/s bandwidth, and support for a maximum of 64 GB.  The Snapdragon X Elite was reportedly designed from the start with a focus on artificial intelligence. Therefore, there is a very powerful NPU unit here. In particular, the Stable Diffusion neural network is promised to work in real-time.   The rest includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, hardware encoding and decoding AV1. The platform will be produced according to 4 nm standards.
