why do the benchmark pc crowd not have this? it's only those iphone / macbook reviewers that got their hands on these. you know the type, soft spoken, minimalist background, videos full of useless fluff that talk a lot but doesn't say anything, no hard numbers, no real testing, at BEST some useless geekbench bs. also comparing to macs, which idgaf about, and they mac crowd probably dgaf about it either. obviously something is being hidden. thankfully i managed to find ONE guy who did actual testing. turns out this only has better battery life than AMD equivalents at near-idle usage, like browsing. on real loads, it is slower and less energy efficient. also the GPU is garbage, not even comparable to the AMD ones, and slower than even intel by a significant margin most of the time. it is slower than a steam deck for games by a lot. iirc it was a third of the frame rate in... fudge, i forgot the game. but it was at 20fps while the steam deck was 60

We should see Intel jump to programming. (SMT on RISC/CISC with SIMD on CISC.) We were supposed to see this out of Qualcomm awhile ago. (Minus the high performance CISC ISA.) TI did this SoC awhile ago. (North bridge as chipset built in. The south bridge remains as a chipset.) Intel is currently borrowing ARM's Cortex design. big.LITTLE was SMT for power.

People still watch LinusTechTips? Why?

i'm waiting for linux compilation benchmarks smh

your voice sounds like AI in this. is it?

40 TOPS in a 1500 dollar laptop is silly. A laptop with a low power AMD CPU and nvidia gpu can get 100 TOPS on the nvidia side and a few more on the AMD APU side. Costing half as much.

If the product is difficult to assess, the best way to know for certain if it's good is to buy it and test it yourself - Which I think may possibly be part of their strategy.

2kliksphilip talks about cpu's? Insta click.

If the snapdragon PCs were cheap they could have at least gotten some mind share but selling it for so much is ridiculous. I don't understand what they think they'll achieve.

Realizing this video came out 7 years ago at this point. It has felt like it has been 2

I think there is an issue with power plans on windows so each laptop's performwnce is widely different out of the box.

I like my Surface Pro 11 a lot!

Every time Qualcomm gets mentioned I can only think of how they failed the Zeebo

Cannot game anything new with multiplayer...

I’ll wait for the Tuxedo Computers machine by (probably) the end of the year. As it’s the only out of the box Linux system so far announced and for once I want just something without much tinkering I don’t have any other choice for the time being.

I have Surface Laptop 7 and let me just say its not worth it unless you travel a whole day without a charger.

That was an excellent video and mirrored my thoughts exactly.

is it 2k liks Philip or 2 kliks Philip?

It's expensive, and has no clear advantage over the existing tech... so... why would anyone want to buy a computer with one of these? I guess if you like paying a lot of money for the privilege of being a beta tester? Or, someone easily fooled by marketing?

$2.1k Snapdragon Surface laptop vs $2.3k Asus ProArt 16 laptop with AMD AI 9 370HX & Nvidia RTX 4070? Only a fool would even consider the Snapdragon Surface!

Also, I hate the product segmentation, when I said Qualcomm have one of the best chips (can beat the M2 MAX), I'm referring to the top SKU which is only in one Samsung laptop. They INTENTIONALLY obfuscate the product you are buying. Plus 64, Elite 78, Elite 80, and Elite 84 are the model names, intentionally hard to understand not stated on product pages. All of Qualcomm's hype was based on the Elite 84. Bait and switch. I want an Elite 84 laptop for $999 USD, not a Plus 64 one.

Samsung Qualcomm laptop gets ~2900/15000 in Geekbench with Alex Ziskind's powercfg edit. I think that is the best chip available CPU wise in a laptop today. I just don't like the Qualcomm GPU.

LTT laughing their way to the bank on this one

I do find it hilarious how most of the reviews are praising the build quality like it's exclusive to the Snapdragon X Elite, forgetting the fact that next gen AMD and Intel CPUs will also use the same chassis in a month.

We don't need a new platform that gains power efficiency at the cost of not being a widely used and or a developed platform, we want the developed platform to push more development into performance/watt and become more understanding of the importance of the user experience.

didn't even know the X Elite already released, lol

There are about a hundred reviews out there on UA-cam and several of them have useful benchmarks. Alex Ziskind posted a good video today with various benchmarks depending on different Windows power settings and whether it's plugged in or on battery for the Samsung Book4 Edge. It explains why the other benchmarks can vary so much. However, all of the reviews find that the graphics in the Snapdragon chips aren't quite powerful enough for high-end gaming. So until the Arm chip supports a dedicated GPU gamers will avoid it. And many professionals will as well.

They didnt lie score arent wrong its the power mode on the windows that messed up the scores

Cat Content! Yes! <3

Just remember, these laptops will eventually have recall enabled which is basically just legalized spyware where Microsoft can see everything you're doing.

This product shouldn't have been positioned as an flagship. Strix Point will litterally crush it in same price range.

Awesome

Microsoft and Qualcomm. I can’t think of two less trustworthy tech companies

I just want a windows 2in1 equivalent of the M1 Macbook air - no fan, good battery life, and good enough performance Thankfully noone's made that yet so by the time they do this chip'll hopefully be more well documented

Saw your analysis video, then saw this video. Yeah awesome video x)

The only in-depth review I found so far is from the phawx who did some pretty decent in-depth comparisons to gaming handhelds, and pointed out a lot of the issues the chipset has Lynn gaming.

Beginning to look like a textbook launch strategy failure: way over hyped & released too soon, simply in an attempt to generate early mover sales before Strix Point & Lunar Lake turn up in Q3. Now wondering if their main USP is going to merely turn out to be c.20% better battery life vs AMD & Intel in the sub 25W (U) TDP performance class? Even in a premium ultrabook, that’s not much of a gain in exchange for emulation losses & compatibility doubts. Caveat emptor indeed.

This is embarrassing. I would take this down. Clearly, you made this days ago, but still.

Didn't they promise 20 something hour battery life before the release? Most reviews are just ignoring that, and here i thought that it was supposed to be its biggest plus, i watched many reviews yet i am still unaure how long it will stay functional while on battery. Ps: sorry if this comment makes no sense, i am super tired haha

Personally I'd love to see the total collapse of the tech industry.

The Dave 2D review was good. Recommend.

I've watched+read dozens of reviews. TLDR; SKIP IT. The Snapdragon X Elite falls far short of their marketing campaign, in reality it trades blows with Intel's outgoing Meteor Lake (Core Ultra) and AMD's Zen 4. That would seem okay at first glance, BUT Windows on Arm is still atrocious, many applications crash, have bugs, and performance issues being emulated from x86 code. Qualcomms GPU drives are completely broken for most games. The price tag of the laptops are $1100+ meanwhile the existing Intel and AMD laptops that are similar are now $800 on sale. Finally Intel and AMD both have their next gen CPUs launching soon, both are expected to surpass the Snapdragon X Elite in the area's they currently are a bit behind. Wait for Intel's Lunar Lake and AMD's Zen 5, and skip being a beta tester for Snapdragon X Elite/Windows on Arm.

"many people will be surprised" were the words of the spokesperson when asked about how these chips fair against the x86 competition. Surprising indeed...how quiet they are right now..

It's a puzzling product launch. I'm seeing chips under performing but only hitting around 70% cpu usage during benchmark testing. I'm thinking most of these laptops are in need of further BOIS tweaking.

This is not a first generation product. Qualcomm have been putting their chips in windows devices for years. This is just the first gen they made a chip specifically for PC. But the drivers and whatnot aren't special to this device vs their old ones.

Toms Hardwae caught cheating benchmarks in Handbrake, such shills They said the huge difference was TOPS in Handbrake of all things.., 10 vs 45, and SDX wins by landslide, and changed the article after being caught out on their GPU vs CPU manipulations. And removed the bit where they refered the difference as strength in TOPS.

Why do I feel like Ryzen AI 300 and Intel 15th gen will make snapdragon x elite irrelevant😂

I haven't seen a CPU launch being hyped up this much with so little to show for since Bulldozer.

This whole thing feels like a scam

I believe Qualcomm is pricing the chip pretty low actually. If i remember correctly its even cheaper than their high end mobile chips so its the laptop manufacturers that are pricing it as a premium laptop.
