The Snapdragon Details of a Plus model have emerged, but before we get there we need to dig into the Elite specs first.
The Snapdragon X Elite name is actually used for three chips. They all have 12 CPU cores, 42 MB of cache, and an NPU that offers 45 TOPS of performance. However, the CPU and GPU are clocked differently.
Check the table below for more details on the three versions. The Snapdragon
Qualcomm apparently showed behind-the-scenes benchmark comparisons to compare the Elite and Plus chips. It appears the comparison here is with the better Elite chip, which hits 3.8 GHz on all cores and 4.2 GHz with two cores active ( against 3.4 GHz and no boost for the Plus).
You can see it in the single-threaded high scores on Geekbench and Cinebench. Multi-thread scores are much higher for the Elite, of course, given the two extra cores and higher clock. They are 18% higher in Geekbench MT and even 38% higher in Cinebench MT.
GPU performance is also different: 4.6 TFLOPs for the top Elite chip and 3.8 TFLOPs for the other two Elites and the Plus. As a result, the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme frame rate drops from around 42 fps to around 37 fps. All Snapdragon X chips have the same NPU, which offers 45 TOPS of performance.
Qualcomm has not yet officially presented the Snapdragon X Plus and the first products with an X-series chip still exist only as rumors. We hear that Samsung and Lenovo are working on laptops with the new chips. Of course, so are many other companies, it’s just that they’ve kept a lid on the leaks.
