Tech advances are often incremental, but sometimes a leap forward arrives and immediately sets a new standard. The new Snapdragon® X Elite processor is one of those leaps. With its battery efficiency, enhanced performance and advanced AI capabilities, PCs powered by Snapdragon X Elite consistently outperform their competitors. In short, this processor helps you do more faster, without completely draining your laptop's battery.
What can it do?
Before we get into the specs and tech, you might be wondering how a Snapdragon X Elite processor can change the way you work. Well, that depends on what you care about.
Want to prioritize the listening experience on your laptop? The Snapdragon X Elite processor can power lossless audio techniques to ensure your fidelity remains exact. If you're using it for work, you can expect crystal-clear video calls and best-in-class AI to help you work more efficiently. If you want it to be your video editing hub, you'll be bouncing back and forth from your various audio, video and word processing programs without issues. The power of these processors allow you to manage complex workloads longer and faster, wherever you take your laptop.
Unparalleled power efficiency
The reason to use a laptop instead of a desktop is portability. You want the power to move. Even if all you're doing is moving from one room in your apartment to another, you still want to be able to operate freely without being tethered by a charger plugged into the wall.
The Snapdragon X Elite processor is a clear advancement in the battery life of your PC. Without increasing the size of your battery, this processor helps efficiently distribute your laptop's energy by adapting to how you use it. No more battery drain because of background processes. You can stop wasting power on things you're not actively focusing on.
Internal testing by Qualcomm Technologies found, the newest laptops powered by Snapdragon X Elite hit up to 22 hours of battery life1, lasting twice as long as your typical laptop. For most people, that's enough energy to get in two full days of work between charges. Leave your charger behind and go to that coffee shop or wherever with confidence!
Fuel your creativity
With battery life that good, you might expect to compromise on your laptop’s performance. Yet, Snapdragon X Elite delivers best-in-class performance when compared to competing processors, and it can match their peak CPU performance while consuming up to 65% less power2. Simply put, laptops using Snapdragon X Elite processors are designed to outperform and outlast comparable laptops using other processors.
That power makes a difference when it comes to making your thoughts into something real. The Snapdragon X Elite processor is built with AI in mind, using the Qualcomm Hexagon™ NPU that provides up to 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS)—far outpacing most other laptops. What does that mean?
Your video editing is hours faster, automating tedious manual labor.
You can use large language models to brainstorm an outline for a script, getting into the flow of creativity easier than ever.
Create a new interior design for your bedroom with generative AI, giving you a place to start on making your idealized environment.
In brief, this processor enables you to create more, faster, and on-device. Learn more about Snapdragon X Elite, the processor setting a new standard for AI-enhanced PCs.
1 Battery life varies significantly based on devices, settings, usage, and other factors.
2 CPU Performance is based on Geekbench v6.2 Single-Thread on Windows 11 OS run in March 2024. Snapdragon X Elite was tested using a Qualcomm reference design on Windows 11 OS. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (16 core) was tested using an Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3405) laptop, on Windows 11. Maximum performance reflected by Intel Core Ultra 7 155H represents maximum achievable results in given platforms under unconstrained PL1/PL2 settings and no thermal limitations. Power and performance comparison reflects results based on measurements and hardware instrumentation of given devices.
