Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite specification exposure: about 2 times the performance of x86 chip, supporting 5G and Wi-Fi 7

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 22 (Xinhua) according to VideoCardz, Snapdragon X Elite is Qualcomm's high-end chip product tailored for PC and its first product with a customized core of Oryon, which aims to compete with Apple's M-series chips.

The exposed specifications show that the CPU and GPU of the chip can bring about twice the performance of the x86 architecture. The comparison here may be 96EU's Intel Raptor Lake processor (28W Raptor Lake 2.3 TFLOPS), and its GPU can reach 4.6TFLOPS.

According to previous revelations, Qualcomm has developed three Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 chips, which should now be called Snapdragon X, and the most high-end model will be equipped with a 12-core CPU, the one exposed by VideoCardz today.

According to reports, the chip uses 12 high-performance cores, but does not mention high-performance cores, which is strange because a previous report showed that it will be composed of eight performance cores and four performance cores.

In addition to the number of cores, the SoC will also support LPDDR5X memory and 136GB/s memory bandwidth.

It is reported that the NPU (neural processing unit) will have the computing power of 45TOPS, while the unnamed Adreno GPU is said to bring the computing power of 4.6TFLOPS and can support up to 4K three screens at the same time, indicating that it is likely to support lightning 4 connections.

In other ways, the Snapdragon X Elite is equipped with a 5G modem, which is what Apple's M-Series Mac lacks. However, VideoCardz did not mention whether the 5G is integrated or separately external.

In addition, VideoCardz also mentioned that the device supports 13 billion parameters and 30 Token / s 7B LLM, which will be helpful in terms of generative artificial intelligence.

Qualcomm is expected to reveal the full picture of the product at the Snapdragon summit on October 25, when CTOnews.com will bring you more reports.
