The Lemon Fool

...This isn't the first time that I've benchmarked Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite reference designs. The first time was at the Snapdragon Summit in October, and at the time, I tested it against Apple's M2, Intel 13th Gen CPUs, and Qualcomm's previous generation, the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. At the time, Qualcomm actually had two models, one with a 23W system TDP and another with an 80W system TDP. However, at CES, it only brought along the 80W models, which frankly didn't seem fair. Naturally, we'll also include those scores from the 23W machines here.

In total, I ran these tests on the following PCs:

Snapdragon X Elite B (23W)
Snapdragon X Elite A (80W)
HP Spectre x360 14 (Core Ultra 7 155H)
Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (Core Ultra 7 155H)
MacBook Air (M2)
