Snapdragon X Elite comparison: What’s the difference?

CPU performance

According to CPUBenchmark the X Elite series achieved the following results:

We were surprised by these results, and it seems that X1E-78-100 outperformed X1E-84-100 in multithread results with a minor difference while performing worse in single-thread tests.

The Cinebench 2024 results paint a slightly different picture:

X1E-78-100 surprised us once again, by beating X1E-80-100 in multi-core tests.

GPU performance

All models use Qualcomm Snapdragon X Adreno X1-85 GPU, however, the X1E-84-100 uses the one with 4.6 TFLOPS while the other two use a 3.8 TFLOPS model.

At the time of writing, only the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Adreno X1-85 (3.8 TFLOPS) benchmark results were available, and the results are impressive:

These are solid results, and the GPU outperforms older mobile GPUs such as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, but it can’t compare with the newer models.

The 4.6TFLOPS version offers even better performance, but don’t expect any major difference.

Hardware differences

As for the hardware specs, all models have the following:

As for max multithread frequency, X1E-84-100 can achieve 3.8GHz while other models are limited to 3.4GHz.

Dual Core Boost also differs with X1E-84-100 having 4.2GHz and X1E-80-100 having 4.0GHz. Unfortunately, the X1E-78-100 doesn’t support this feature.
