Keep in mind the original X Elite benchmarks were never replicated in real world devices (not even close).

They used a desktop style device (with intense cooling that is not possible with laptops) and "developed solely for benchmarking" version of Linux (to this day X Elite runs like shit in Linux).

This is almost certainly a premeditated attempt at "legal false advertising".

Mark my words, you'll never see 4,000 points in GB6 ST on any real products.

Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme

That doesn't sound very high end, I think I'll wait for the Pro version, preferably Pro Plus.

Let me know when these X elite chips have full Linux compatibility and then I’ll be interested. Until then, I’ll stick with Mac, it has the better hardware.

I'm going to call semi-bullshit here, or there is a major revisionist version or catch. If this were true, they'd be STUPID to not be working fast as hell to get full, unlocked Linux support upstreamed and start selling this as a datacenter competitor to what Amazon, Microsoft, and Amazon are offering, because it would be an entirely new class of performance. It could also dig into Nvidia and AMDs datacenter sales at scale if this efficient.

This will be super cool when we actually have OSs that can run on them!

X2 "Elite Extreme" probably in ideal conditions vs. the base M4 chip in a real-world device. Sure, nice single core results but Apple will likely counter with the M5 (the A19 Pro already reaches around 4,000 and the M chips can probably clock a bit higher). And the M4 Pro and Max already score as high or higher in multi-core. Real world in a 14 inch laptop.

It doesn't "crush" the M4 series at all and we'll see how it'll perform in a comparable power/thermal envelope.

I don't hate what Qualcomm is doing here, but these chips only work properly under Windows and the Windows app ecosystem still hasn't embraced ARM all that much, and from what I've heard Windows' x64 to ARM translation layer is not as good as Rosetta 2. Linux support is pretty horrible, especially at launch.

The X1 Elite never lived up to its geekbench scores, and the drivers are absolute dogshit.

The X2 Elite wont match Apple or AMD in real world scenarios either, I'd wager.

Windows 11 will turn this into a 486.

I am simple person. I see geekbench, I ignore claims and rest of article.

How's the GPU drivers though? Especially to me for Linux. These should be used in PC gaming handhelds but Qualcomm support is mediocre

I highly doubt this is accurate. Be nice, but doubt it.

*X Elite opens browser windows faster under desktop cooling.

FTFY

Can't wait for Linux to support it and Tuxedo creating a laptop with it.

Then Apple releases M5.

Nothing to see here, folks.

When the Snapdragon GPU performance is on par with AMD's 780m or above then we can talk.

And here I am with my cheap old quad core doing my stuff.

Except for the theoretical interest, what are we supposed to do with stuff like that? Is it just more data centers? Does I sound like 640KB is enough?

Oh no, each new chip is going to be tree at something than another chip and vice versa. Anyways, what did people have for lunch?

In my experience, arm64 is nowhere close to x64 with heavy multi processing/threading loads.
