Qualcomm has stirred anticipation within the tech community for the release of Snapdragon X Elite laptops, slated for a mid-2024 launch. As this date approaches, the frequency of related system listings on Geekbench is increasing, showcasing the performance potential of these devices. Recently, another Geekbench record for a Lenovo laptop has surfaced, further hinting at the capabilities of these highly-anticipated processors.
The more recent Geekbench entry under the codename “4810UV0100” carries the same Snapdragon X Elite X1E78100 processor as the previous “83ED” Lenovo laptop listing. This processor boasts a 12-core arrangement, formatted into an 8+4 core division. While the first observed Geekbench scores for the processor—1,682 single-core and 11,392 multi-core—fell short of Qualcomm’s initial internal benchmarks, the latest scores reflect a significant improvement.
The Snapdragon X Elite processor now showcases a 2,427 single-core and 14,254 multi-core performance on Geekbench, placing it on par with the internally-claimed benchmarks conducted by Qualcomm at a 23-watt power draw. The precise power settings for the processor’s performance in the laptop during the Geekbench test remain undisclosed, preventing a rigorous comparison.
Comparatively, these new scores indicate that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processor can stand toe-to-toe with flagship CPUs from Intel and AMD. For context, in-house testing reveals that the Intel Core i9-13900H has recorded minimum scores of 2,437 single-core and 11,118 multi-core, whereas the Core i7-13700HX has seen scoring at 2,541 single-core and 11,793 multi-core. On AMD’s side, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has reported minimum scores of 2,632 single-core and 13,155 multi-core. The Lenovo laptop’s recent performance with the Snapdragon X Elite CPU is competitive with these outcomes.
The matching of scores between Qualcomm’s latest offering and established processors is a noteworthy development in the computing hardware realm. As the industry awaits further announcements, potential updates regarding these laptops may be shared at upcoming events such as Computex 2024.
In the meantime, consumers interested in current laptop offerings can explore available options like the Lenovo Legion 5i, among others. With the advancements in processor technology, it’s an exciting time for tech enthusiasts to witness the evolution and competition of hardware capabilities that are shaping the future of computing.
