Last week we saw the announcement of Qualcomm\u2019s first post-Nuvia laptop SoC design, the Snapdragon X Elite<\/a>. A new brand name being anchored by a new, custom Qualcomm CPU core, the Snapdragon X Elite will be Qualcomm\u2019s most aggressive entry into the laptop SoC market to date, with Qualcomm dedicating far more in the way of engineering resources \u2013 and marketing resources \u2013 into developing their latest generation Arm SoC for Windows laptops. Backed by Qualcomm\u2019s custom Arm CPU core, Oryon, the company is aiming to make the Snapdragon X Elite a watershed moment for the Snapdragon brand, both carving out a piece of the lucrative Windows laptop market while also setting the stage for a generation of even more powerful smartphone SoCs in 2024.<\/p>\n

As outlined in the company\u2019s keynote and related announcements<\/a> at last week\u2019s Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm is incredibly proud of (and gung-ho on) the Snapdragon X Elite, and they are eager to show off what it can do. With benchmark scores that, in some cases, are beating some of the best chips from Intel, AMD, and Arm, Qualcomm believes they have a hot hand with the Snapdragon X Elite, and they want to show it off as soon as possible. Even despite the fact that actual retail devices won\u2019t be available until mid-2024 \u2013 at least another 6 months from now.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

As part of that promotional push, alongside the public disclosures at last week\u2019s event, Qualcomm also held an embargoed event for press and analysts to further demonstrate the Snapdragon X Elite and its performance. In a closed-door benchmarking session, the company set out a series of Snapdragon X Elite reference design laptops pre-loaded with popular benchmark software, most of which the company had also used in its performance claims from last week\u2019s keynote sessions. The purpose of the session was to demonstrate in front of the gathered crowd that Qualcomm\u2019s reported benchmark scores were no exaggeration or anomaly, and that the company had devices up and running right now that could hit those chart-topping scores. As the saying goes, \u201cseeing is believing,\u201d and Qualcomm\u2019s benchmarking session was all about making sure the Snapdragon X Elite was being seen in action.<\/p>\n
