Snapdragon X Elite

“The Qualcomm X2 Elite is another chip that's catching up with Apple's offerings”

“Pretty disappointed in Qualcomm's promise of upstream support for Snapdragon X Elite turning out to be”

“Qualcomm has a long track record of bait n switch w/ Linux community”

“Qualcomm’s history makes me doubt those chips will ever see the same support their newer, AI-focused ones are with this announcement”

“Qualcomm provided efficiency (battery life).”

“proper platform would have backward compatibility, so an OS from today will work on hardware released in 5 years”

“Qualcomm is above every non-Apple competitor including desktop chips”

“Qualcomm has proven that they'll continue to half-ass support until the next product is announced”

“single core perf is still. And also still very much behind the new M6 in single core and multi core”

“They are better than Intel and AMD's best.”

“it has much smaller config variations compared to Intel-based laptops”

“This is entirely Qualcomm's doing. If they supported Arm SBSA/UEFI+ACPI like some other Arm chip companies”

“Qualcomm are slowly but steadily improving Linux support for the X1/X2 Snapdragon CPUs”

“Although Qualcomm still has a lead in performance, but it is increasingly shrinking.”

“still have not done so for their 1st gen X Elite which they promised full Linux support for and failed to deliver”

“Qualcomm probably shouldn't have promised Linux support in the first place.”

“They burned me with the first gen Snapdragon X Elite. Before the various laptops with it were out they promised Linux support.”

“trounces Nvidia's chip in single core CPU performance. It beats Intel and AMD's best, too.”

“It's the only chip out there to approach Apple's single core CPU performance and power efficiency.”

“It basically never runs the fans (at least at audible levels)”

“The first Windows ARM CPU to be faster than any of its x86 rivals.”

“That wasn't true of the X1”

“Qualcomm Snapdragon x1 and upcoming x2 use their Oryon core and have much faster single-thread performance”

“upcoming x2 use their Oryon core and have much faster single-thread performance”

“Qualcomm is in the business of selling chipsets, not building ecosystems, so once a Qualcomm chip is out the door, they tend to forget about it.”

“Excluding Qualcomm as well, especially excluding the X2 Elite.”

“The Snapdragon X2 Elite performance cores are faster than any Intel or AMD core ever made, full stop.”

“the performance of this CIX chip is really bad compared to the Snapdragon X2”

“Meanwhile, Qualcomm's X Elite 1 did not throttle.”

“Qualcomm kinda fumbled the Snapdragon X Elite launch with nonexistent Linux support and shoddy Windows stability”

“Snapdragon X support on Linux is still heavily a work in progress with issues with sound, power management”

“Qualcomm talked a lot about Snapdragon X Elite as the future of Windows and Linux on ARM, but results so far are mixed.”

“So far ARM laptops provide either vastly better battery life for the same performance or vastly better performance for the same battery life.”

“Snapdragon X Elite laptops have better Linux support than the Plus variants”

“the battery life and the seemingly no real lag or micro-stuttering”

“how much performance Apple's M-series and Qualcomm's Elite series with relatively few watts”

“Qualcomm is already upstreaming support into Linux.”

“Qualcomm has been upstreaming patches to Linus' tree”

“the X elite's doesn't seem entirely power efficient compared to Apple”

“ARM chips seem to be significantly better for electron applications”
