What you need to know
- At its annual Snapdragon Summit event in Hawaii, Qualcomm has briefly teased some performance figures for its 2nd Gen Oryon CPU.
- The (admittedly slightly vague) graph charts the CPU performance of the chip against the current version, as well as AMD and Intel’s competition.
- The TL;DR seems to be that we can expect significant performance gains, but at a much lower power, scoring more efficiency wins for users.
As a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for mobile devices and a longing for compact powerhouses, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation upon hearing about Qualcomm’s 2nd Gen Oryon CPU. With my fingers crossed and eyes peeled towards Hawaii (wish I could’ve been there for the event!), I’m eagerly awaiting the day these chips grace our devices.
Every year at this time, Qualcomm holds a significant event in Hawaii to unveil its most recent cutting-edge advancements. Although we haven’t managed to attend this year (due to the distance to Hawaii), it’s worth noting that while mobile technology is a major focus, PC enthusiasts aren’t entirely overlooked.
Among all the talk about the current generation Snapdragon X Elite and how it’s fared against the old guard in AMD and Intel, is a nugget of exciting information on what’s coming next.
At the event, Qualcomm unveiled a chart that, honestly, makes me salivate. You can check it out thanks to my acquaintance Tomi (also known as GadgetsBoy), who indeed traveled all the way to Hawaii for this occasion.
Reflecting on the data presented, it’s clear that while there isn’t a wealth of information, there is enough intrigue to spark enthusiasm. The graphs primarily focus on one benchmark, Geekbench, specifically for single-core performance. However, even with this limited scope, there are still enticing details to glean from the data.
In a significant improvement, the second-generation Oryon (the CPU component of Snapdragon X Elite) consumes significantly less power compared to current models, with Qualcomm claiming a reduction of 57%. This is an impressive feat for just one generation. Not only does it outperform Intel and AMD’s contemporary chips in terms of single-core performance, but it does so while using less power.
In contrast to the Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 256V (a rather peculiar name, one might say), Qualcomm is making daring assertions. They claim to deliver 62% superior performance while consuming roughly the same power, around 6 watts. Remarkably, they also boast that their chip can reach Intel’s peak performance using an astounding 190% less power. Keep in mind, this is all about a smartphone, not a desktop processor.
Indeed, you’re looking at a graph from Qualcomm, presented at one of their events, showcasing a solitary benchmark on an unspecified chip in relation to laptops. As always, be mindful about taking these figures at face value. Yet, it does pique curiosity for what lies ahead. The power-to-battery life ratio on the initial Snapdragon X Elite is impressive, and indications suggest Qualcomm might push boundaries further with its successor. Given that batteries aren’t expanding in size, maximizing their potential is crucial, making every bit of life we can extract from them more valuable.
The primary advantage lies in the adoption of a 2nd Gen Snapdragon X Elite chipset. This move seems poised to not just boost performance, but also extend battery life significantly, while maintaining or even surpassing the same level of performance. Frankly, I can’t help but check my watch, eagerly anticipating when these chips will hit the market.
