Last year, Qualcomm showed off its Oryon CPU during the Snapdragon Summit. The CPU was meant to offer the best computing performance for computers. The company has finally unveiled its new computer processor – the Snapdragon X Elite with the all-new Oryon CPU.
The company's new computing processor comes with on-device AI inference and is also said to be the most efficient processor for PCs for multi-day battery life. The company claims that the Snapdragon X Elite is designed to support intelligent and power-intensive tasks, enabling powerful productivity, rich creativity and entertainment experiences on the go.
“Snapdragon X Elite represents a dramatic leap in innovation in computing as we deliver our new, custom Qualcomm Oryon CPU for supercharging, which will delight users with incredible power efficiency and take their creativity and productivity to the next level,” said Kedar Kondap. , senior vice president and general manager of Compute & Gaming at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Snapdragon X: Features
The Snapdragon X Elite is based on a 4nm System-on-a-Chip architecture equipped with a 12-core Qualcomm Oryon CPU, where all 12 of them are clocked at 3.8GHz with a dual-core boost up to 4.3GHz. It supports LPDDR5x memory with 136 GB/s memory bandwidth and 42 MB total cache.
The company claims the chip offers about 2x faster processing than a 10-core laptop CPU and consumes only a third of the power. It also comes with Adreno GPU for graphics processing.
Qualcomm has also included its best AI feature as well. It comes with the Qualcomm AI Engine integrated Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, which enables it to run generative AI LLM models with more than 12 billion parameters on the device. The processor also includes a micro NPU in the Qualcomm Sensing Hub for enhanced security, login experience and privacy, including the ability to wake devices from sleep mode.
The Snapdragon X Elite is also supported by intelligent security features that help protect your PC from the chip to the cloud, including the Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit powered by Microsoft Pluton.
TPM, full memory encryption and Microsoft Secured-core PC support.
The Qualcomm AI Engine supports Windows Studio Effects and many other AI-accelerated applications and experiences. The processor also comes with a built-in 5G modem and supports Wi-Fi 7 with HBS multi-link for seamless connectivity. Snapdragon Seamless allows users to easily switch between your favorite devices for a smooth and dynamic experience.
