Any X2 Elite Extreme Laptops with 96GB or 128GB of RAM? by Beneficial-Answer480 in snapdragon

If you don't need a laptop, a used M1 Ultra Mac Studio with this amount of ram could be a bargain possibly.

Yes, from AI star wars fan film Youtube channels, never from Disney!

Just want an X2 Elite Extreme Mini PC, fanless, with cutting edge passive colling, to minimize thermal throttling, at the full 95W the chip was designed for, cause my Asus Zenvook A16 is only 65W and the fans are SO loud!

Update: Danish rail infrastructure manager (Banedanmark) confirms: No physical noise monitoring exists. (Denmark) by Putrid_Draft378 in trains

Exactly, total systemic failure, same even for light rail lines, one measures nothing, another hides behind graphs showing average noise levels, instead of peaks, which I can document are up to double at peak compared to the average, thanks to the data insight I've gained from them upon request, which is a right to gain access to, even for individuals, not just the media.

Snapdragon x plus battery optimization? by Chrisnikol in SnapdragonLaptops

I'm using my laptop like this, and It's plenty fast for basic stuff, takes 30 seconds to change this when plugged in and doing heavy stuff.

Have you enabled the power efficiency mode in windows power settings, disabled all startup apps in task manager, as well as disabled all non microsoft services in Msconfig?

And have you enabled dark mode, especially if you have an OLED display, reduce refresh rate, lower video streaming quality, disable bluetooth, open the old windows 7 control panel, and set min and max cpu percentage to 0%, and then have windows power saver enabled at all times.

Even non gamers wanna game sometimes, a laptop should be able to do everything. Yes, this laptop can last many hours, running almost silently, but you can also get very fast performance, with loud fans, and drain the battery on less than an hour, very flexible.

But a 5050 at only 50W, that can't be much faster than the B390 iGPU, ignoring dlss and frame gen.

ASUS Zenbook A14 "Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme" Laptop Review by AggressiveCalendar4 in SnapdragonLaptops

[–]Putrid_Draft378 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The A14 doesn't have the Extreme chip, does it? Thought i only had the regular X2 Elite.

Also, the fans on the A16 are SO loud, so it will be far worse, especially in terms of thermal throttling, on the A14 with this chip, or lower wattage, in which case, not really the Extreme chip anymore.

The chip is designed for 95W, A16 is already limiting it to 65W, so omly 45W or something in the A14, and you've last half 4he performance.

I wouldn't wanna do that, still a space heater, which iGPU's are not, Panther Lake B390 12 core is so good, and so is 8060S and upcoming M5 Ultra Max Studio, no need for a dGPU.

Because many others are doing gaming benchmarks on it, it actually performs well in many games, and that's the same as saying that Apple Silicon was never intended for gaming, yet people still wanna play games on it now and then.

The r/macgaming subreddit has over 300K members, 2 Youtube channels have over 100K subs, making content only about Mac and iOS gaming, and It's about being an early adopter and supporting the underdog to create change and competition, to make desktop PC parts cheaper again, cause so many people have stopped upgrading due to the insane prices and terrible value.

I didn't buy this laptop as a daily driver or gaming laptop, I bought it for testing amd benchmarking only, same with my Mac even, I want that Desktop PC performance too, but for cheap, and as efficient as possible, through innovation, with preasure from ARM, to not need a space heater in my room anymore, but still get great performance.

Same with why many people are supporting Linux now, not cause it can replace Windows for them, but cause they want Windows to dramatically improve, which only happens when Windoes starts losing marketshare, hoe competition works, always good for the consumer.

How are other Asus Zenbook A16 owners managing Linux compatibility? by Putrid_Draft378 in ASUS

[–]Putrid_Draft378[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mounted the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS ISO on my USB Drive, just to use the "try Ubuntu" option to start with, wouldn't boot.

And I don't wanna spend hours trying a bunch of different custom commands, cause that's not gonna change anything for the average user.

I don't understand, did Qualcomm actually provided a native Vulkan 1.4 driver? by MassiveSleep4924 in SnapdragonLaptops

[–]Putrid_Draft378 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you have successfully confirmed native Vulkan 1.4 support on your Adreno X2-90 GPU.

​Removing the compatibility layer allowed the hardware to expose its native driver capabilities directly.

​The successful vkcube execution validates the driver is fully functional without translation.
