The Snapdragon X Elite was previously benchmarked in an unnamed Lenovo laptop, and it received less than stellar scores, though those figures were still impressive compared to what Qualcomm had previously released, which was the highly disappointing Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. However, newly published results reveal up to a 49 percent bump in the latest Geekbench 6 leak, and we will discuss the potential reasons for this massive score difference.
Updated Snapdragon X Elite benchmark witnesses a 25 percent bump in multi-core performance
Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship SoC for notebooks was again registered on Geekbench 6, with the scores published on April 1. While some readers might have concluded these numbers to be a prank on account of April Fools, since a lot of manipulation was happening on the aforementioned date, we want to give the benefit of the doubt. With the same ‘Balanced’ power plan that was previously mentioned in the earlier benchmark, the unnamed Lenovo laptop with the model number ‘4810UV0100’ obtains a single-core and multi-core score of 2,427 and 14,254, respectively.
Previously, the SoC only got 1,628 and 11,392 in the same series of tests. There could be several reasons for these differences, with the most obvious one being that Geekbench 6 is now more optimized for the Snapdragon X Elite platform. Then again, it might have to do with this particular Lenovo laptop sporting a more robust cooling solution, but you have to remember that Geekbench 6 only runs for a short period, and even a fan-less M3 MacBook Air can deliver impressive results as the benchmarking suite does not factor in sustained workloads.
We have previously reported that the Snapdragon X Elite can operate at power limits of 23W and 80W, but the image only says that the notebook was running at the ‘Balanced’ power plan, with no other details provided. The only explanation we have at this time is that since the chipset is nearing its official release, the apps specifically designed for it have become a little more polished than before, but before the first wave of retail units go live, we cannot comment further, so we recommend readers stay tuned for our future coverage.
