Overview
- Tom’s Guide benchmarks report strong results, with single‑core scores topping recent Intel and AMD chips and keeping pace with Apple’s M5 in some tests, plus 80 TOPS NPU performance and near‑plugged‑in speed on battery.
- Hands‑on gaming showed Cyberpunk 2077 running above 75 FPS at 1080p medium with FSR, ray tracing around 52 FPS, Black Myth: Wukong above 90 FPS, and Fortnite and Overwatch 2 hitting 120 FPS as anti‑cheat compatibility improves.
- Qualcomm told Wccftech the X2 Elite Extreme can draw over 100W when unconstrained, citing examples like a 107.94W memory test and 84.78W in HandBrake, while thin designs may target 20–40W with some configured around 22W.
- Cinebench 2024 data reported by Wccftech show the X2 Elite Extreme trailing Apple’s M4 Max in single‑ and multi‑core results, signaling that Apple’s top chips remain ahead in those metrics.
- Qualcomm’s 3nm design packs over 31 billion transistors with third‑gen Oryon CPU cores, up to 69% more memory bandwidth, an AI engine up to 78% faster, and a GPU claimed up to 2.3x faster, plus low‑power and security features.
