Early Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme benchmarks have it beating top Intel and AMD chips | Infinium-tech
Well, it is not sure that the X86 vs hand performance is not going to ignite the arguments again, right? The initial, accepted, benchmark from the new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, it shows wiping the floor with the top new CPU from AMD and Intel in single-core and multi-core performance.
Here are the results of Geekbench 6.5 and how they have been tested as per the choice of AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Intel Core Ultra 7 258V and Qualcomm’s original Snapdragon X Elite. PC WorldNote that some of these results come from Geekbench 6.1, but they should still be comparable.
Similarly, the new Snapdragon trains both X86 and its predecessor in 2024. The 18-core CPU in Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (X2E-96-100) is-12 prime core is running with all core on 4.4GHz (and to allow thermal.

Qualcomm announced three chips in the X2 generation – X2 Elite Extreme (96), X2 Elite (88) and X2 Elite (80) with separate CPU, GPU and Cash Configuration, although the same 80 tops NPU (more on it). However, during the launch event, the company allowed only the top chip (Elite Extreme) to test and under Qualcomm-controlled conditions. Nevertheless, journalists were allowed to inspect tests.
Instead of running the battery, testing were done with laptops plugged into the wall. According to Qualcomm, the performance is the same in any way. According to internal tests, here are the expected test scores:

Additionally, test devices had 48GB DDR5X RAM, although it is not clear whether it was stitched on chip Ram or outer RAM in slots. The X2 Elite Extreme supports both options, while the other two aristocrats only use external RAM (up to 128GB). A trade-off is-a-handed RAM is sharp, slots make the laptops user-upgradable as the stick is easy to swap. It is also worth noting that the extreme chip has a comprehensive 192-bit memory interface (228GB/s) compared to the other two chips, with 128-bit buses (152GB/s).
Okay, GPU test forward. Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme has an adreno X2-90 GPU running up to 1.85GHz. In the 3DMark steel nomadic light, Snapdragon Intel’s IGPU (ARC 140V) and AMD’s IGPU (Radeon 890m) was 80% ahead. Compared to its predecessor, improvement is a huge 2.6x.

With every hardware and software company to announce new AI features, NPU matters a ton. The new 80 Tops (INT8) comes close to three times the performance of Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-80-100) and likewise leaves the AI acceleration of Intel in its rear view mirror. It is better than the tops rating that you believe, the original X Elite NPU has been rateed at 45 tops.
The first devices with Snapdragon X2 Elite Chips should be released in spring 2026. Hopefully, we will see benchmarks of two non-exit cream chips until then.
