In a recent press event, Qualcomm, the tech ARM giant, showcased its new demo systems that highlighted various tasks, including benchmarks and AI tests, all running on the Windows 11 operating system. The systems were set apart by their different Snapdragon X Elite SKUs. The most powerful variant, the XIE84100, boasted 12 Oryon cores and was paired with 64GB of memory. Meanwhile, the XIE80100 systems were equipped with either 16GB or 32GB of memory.
Tom’s Hardware provided insights into the performance of these variants, noting that the XIE84100 variant could boost up to 3.8 GHz, while the XIE80100 reached up to 3.4 GHz. However, neither Qualcomm nor the media disclosed the specific TDP settings used during the demonstrations.
As the launch of the Snapdragon X series approaches, Qualcomm has not yet mentioned the X Plus models. These models have not been showcased in any public demos and have not appeared on benchmarking sites like Geekbench. Consequently, details regarding the configuration and clock speeds of the X Plus series remain uncertain, though rumors suggest they may feature 10 cores instead of 12.
The Snapdragon X Elite (XIE) Series SC8380 includes:
- Snapdragon X Elite XIE84100: 12 Cores up to 3.8 GHz
- Snapdragon X Elite XIE80100: 12 Cores, up to 3.4 GHz
- Snapdragon X Elite XIE78100: 12 Cores
- Snapdragon X Elite XIE76100: 12 Cores
The Snapdragon X Plus (XIP) Series SC8350 is rumored to include:
- Snapdragon X Plus XIP62100: 10 Cores?
- Snapdragon X Plus XIP64100: 10 Cores?
- Snapdragon X Plus XIP56100: 10 Cores?
- Snapdragon X Plus XIP46100: 10 Cores?
- Snapdragon X Plus XIP44100: 10 Cores?
- Snapdragon X Plus XIP40100: 10 Cores?
Reports from WinFuture suggest that Qualcomm is preparing to introduce the XIP46100 and XIP44100 models, expanding the lineup of X Plus variants to six, surpassing both the officially announced X Elite variants and those identified unofficially.
At the event, Qualcomm presented new performance benchmarks, demonstrating that their X Elite chip outperforms Apple’s M3 in Geekbench 6 multi-threaded tests. The X Elite scored 15,610 points, surpassing the M3, which achieved 12,154 points. Qualcomm did not provide details on single-threaded performance nor compare it with Max/Pro versions.
Qualcomm also compared single-threaded performance with Intel Meteor Lake (Core Ultra 7155H) and AMD Phoenix (Ryzen 9 7940HS), claiming up to a 54% increase in performance at ISO power, while achieving 65% better power efficiency. In multi-threaded tests, these figures translated to a 52% performance boost with 60% less power consumption.
Qualcomm asserts that the X Elite chips will deliver a 36% increase in GPU performance compared to the Core Ultra 7155H, which is equipped with an Arc GPU featuring 8 Xe-Cores. This performance comes with a 50% reduction in power consumption, making it a worthwhile alternative for users who prioritize both performance and energy efficiency.
It is highly likely that Qualcomm will soon unveil more details about the X Plus series, hopefully accompanied by independent benchmarks derived from actual products rather than Qualcomm-supplied test units. These benchmarks are expected to provide a more accurate representation of the performance of the Snapdragon X chips.

ChatGPT’s Google Search Rival Set to Launch ! – Can SearchGPT Break Google’s Dominance?
A New Era for the Internet? ChatGPT’s Google search rival, SearchGPT, is anticipated to make its debut by the end of this year, marking a significant advancement in OpenAI’s chatbot technology. According to the Press Gazette, Varun Shetty, OpenAI’s head of media, confirmed at a Brussels conference that SearchGPT is expected to be integrated into ChatGPT by year-end. SearchGPT, OpenAI’s AI-driven search engine, is designed to provide quick answers without the need to visit other websites. Users can simply ask, “Did the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins last night? And if so, who scored?” and get a complete summary of the results. Currently, SearchGPT is in the testing phase, and early reports of its performance have been mixed. The Washington Post’s hands-on review in September highlighted that Google’s AI competitor still requires improvements. Shetty’s announcement that SearchGPT will be available before the end of 2024 indicates that OpenAI has made strides in its development, bringing it closer to competitors like Perplexity and Arc Search. War of the Search Engines The introduction of OpenAI’s search engine could be pivotal in both AI development and the competition for search engine supremacy. Google has long held an unrivaled position, but OpenAI’s advancements could pose a significant challenge. Unlike traditional search engines, SearchGPT responds to queries in natural language and provides sources for its answers, allowing users to easily access full articles. Shetty mentioned, “This is the core experience we’re building. It’s about finding the right balance between users and publishers.” Currently, ChatGPT provides answers without citing sources. The launch of SearchGPT aims to address this concern by enabling users to read original content rather than just receiving brief AI-generated summaries. Using AI on my iPhone 16 Pro Max for web searches with Arc Search has been impressive, but OpenAI’s entry into this arena could be a game-changer. Time will reveal if SearchGPT can truly compete with Google to become the preferred search engine for internet users. End of Article There you go! Now, it’s all revamped and ready to catch the eye. 🎉 Related Posts
