Snapdragon X Elite was announced in late 2023 as an ARM-based chip for Windows laptops. Similar to Apple Silicon in MacBooks, the promise was to deliver powerful chips that have better battery life compared to traditional x86 chips. But, since that announcement, not a single laptop has actually been announced using X Elite.

It looks like Qualcomm's has finally set the stage for its upcoming and cutting-edge Snapdragon X CPUs. The Snapdragon X SKUs are primed to revolutionize the PC (more specifically AI PC) market, particularly the AI segment, through their impressive performance and a blazing-fast dedicated AI engine, which helps to catalyze edge AI computing and much more, according to what the company has shown the tech press officially.


For a quick rundown, the Snapdragon X CPU lineup will come in different configurations, starting with the highest-end with a 12-core count and the lower-end "X Plus" models ranging from four cores to ten cores. We haven't received confirmation about official details; hence, we cannot tell you the specifics right now, but in conclusive terms, expect Snapdragon X Elite to be a highly competitive platform in the markets, and despite it being Qualcomm's first attempt in the CPU segment, it is undoubtedly going to be a great hit. Here are the rumored SKUs to be released, based on previous leaks :


➡ X Elite X1E84100


➡ X Elite X1E80100


➡ X Elite X1E78100

➡ X Plus X1P64100


➡ X Plus X1P62100


➡ X Plus X1P56100


➡ X Plus X1P40100


Well, now that we know when to expect Qualcomm's CPUs to drop into the markets, there will be exciting times ahead. I am more excited about the AI performance with these SKUs since we are pretty fond of the comparison between respective core performances.
