Snapdragon X Elite Running In Unnamed Lenovo Laptop With ‘Balanced’ Power Plan Obtains Up To A 49 Percent Higher Score In New Benchmark

The Snapdragon X Elite was tested in an unspecified Lenovo laptop in the past, and while its scores were not exceptional, they were still noteworthy compared to Qualcomm’s previous release, the underwhelming Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. However, recent results from a Geekbench 6 leak show a significant increase of up to 49 percent, and we will explore the possible factors behind this substantial difference in scores.

Snapdragon X Elite benchmark shows impressive 25 percent increase in multi-core performance

Geekbench 6 recently registered Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship SoC for notebooks, with the scores being released on April 1. Despite the possibility of these numbers being a prank due to the date’s reputation for trickery, we want to assume them to be accurate. Like the previous benchmark, the unidentified Lenovo laptop with the model number ‘4810UV0100’ achieved a single-core score of 2,427 and a multi-core score of 14,254 with the ‘Balanced’ power plan.

In the past, the SoC scored 1,628 and 11,392 in the same set of tests. These variances could be attributed to various factors, with the most apparent one being the improved optimization for the Snapdragon X Elite platform on Geekbench 6. Additionally, it is worth noting that the Lenovo laptop used in these tests may have a more efficient cooling system, but it is essential to keep in mind that Geekbench 6 only runs for a short period and does not take into account sustained workloads, which can greatly impact performance. This is why even a fan-less M3 MacBook Air can achieve impressive results on this benchmarking suite.

Our previous report stated that the Snapdragon X Elite has the capability to operate within power limits of 23W and 80W. However, the accompanying image only shows the notebook running on the ‘Balanced’ power plan without any additional information. We can only speculate that as the chipset nears its official release, the dedicated apps have been refined. However, until the retail units are available, we are unable to provide further details and suggest that readers stay updated for our future coverage.
