Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon X2 Elite processors

Last year, Qualcomm, which we know how the company, creating mobile chips and other portable devices, was released last year by Snapdragon X Elite processors, going for Light Naptops. Unlike Intel and AMD, which is the only license for the X86 architecture, it uses Qualcomm ARM, which, although almost unsurpassed efficiency, is also quite significant compatibility problems, although Microsoft has significantly included Windows.

Now Qualcomm has presented the second generation of laptop chips and has a number of great improvements. First, this is the transition from 4 nm to 3NM production process However, from TSMC, which in itself will cause a significant increase in efficiency, along with other architectural changes on Oryon nuclei, but promises Qualcomm up to 31 % more power with the same consumption or 43 % less energy consumption with the same government Like the original X Elite. These are really large numbers that we have not seen too many for processors recently. Qualcomm even claims to be the fastest and most effective processor for Windows, but we still have to wait for independent tests.

As for other parts of the whole SOC, graphic calculations will take care of Graphic processor Adreno X2-90This should be proposed up to 130 % more power on watt Compared to the first generation X Elite. Great progress then occurred with NPU HEXAGONwhere Qualcomm promises paper performance 80 peaks In the calculations of Int8, which will make it the most powerful NPU in the laptop market. Great progress also occurred in memory where an increase occurred Permeability up to 228 GB/s From the initial 135 GB/s (thanks to a wider bus, but also a higher frequency, namely 9,523 tons/s) and support capacity up to 128 GBField

Qualcomm has still announced three models in total. The highest will be Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (X2e-96-100) p 12 powerful (increase to 5 GHz) or 6 for effective cores (maximum frequency 3.6 GHz) and 53 MB KeshWhile this chip also receives the most powerful graphic processor with a frequency of 1.85 GHz and is sold with 48 GB of memory.

The second model Snapdragon X2 Elite (without extreme) with the inscription X2E-88-100. It brings again 12 powerful nuclei (but increase only at 4.7 GHz) and 6 (3.4 GHz) and 53 MB cache. The graphic chip is the same then, but Inaccessible up to 1.7 GHz and Predidity is much lower152 GB/s instead of 228 on the highest model.

The last model is called the same Snapdragon X2 Elite, but has a sign X2-80-100It has a field Powerful nuclei only 6 (also increase 4.7 GHz, but only on one core instead of two), Effectively, but again 6 With the same frequency as a more powerful version. The cache is cut into 34 MB And The graphic chip is used weakerAlthough with the same hours 1.7 GHz.

Snapdragon X2 Elite Will arrive in laptops somewhere in the first half of next yearThe Intel and Gorgon Point from AMD should compete with the upcoming lakes of Lake Panther.
