Qualcomm unveiled the successor to the Snapdragon X Elite back in September, and now the company has revealed new technical details, including actual power consumption levels in different types of laptops. According to the new data, the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme is capable of consuming more than 100 W in unrestricted mode. According to Qualcomm, laptops based on the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme will even be able to be equipped with a separate graphics card, but the power range of the chip itself will be flexible ? from 60 to 100 W. There is no fixed TDP: it all depends on the OEM partner's decision and the thermal package they put into a particular case. Dimensions, weight, target price, case temperature, exhaust heat, and noise level ? this whole set of constraints determines how long and at what frequencies the processor can operate. For thin and light models, including 14-inch ones, Qualcomm recommends using the standard Snapdragon X2 Elite with a sustained power of around 22 W ? in reality, the range can vary between 20 and 40 W. But the Extreme version is a completely different story. The company has provided real-world performance tests without any restrictions: memory test ? 107.9 W, Handbrake ? 84.8 W, multi-threaded Cinebench 2024 ? 70.3 W, Integer Spinloop ? 30.2 W, multi-threaded Geekbench 6 ? 8.4 W. The spread is huge, but the trend is clear: the X2 Elite Extreme can consume a lot of power in certain scenarios. |
