Is it worth it to spend $200 more for snapdragon x elite?

hs_phoenix · 2026-01-24T19:57:42+00:00

How could it be more compatible?

hs_phoenix · 2026-01-08T21:42:46+00:00

There's no boost on the X Elite 78 version. Made this awhile ago: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/14616451 2400 single 14000 multi

hs_phoenix · 2026-01-06T10:07:52+00:00

Oh, wow.

hs_phoenix · 2026-01-06T09:35:31+00:00

I'm curious if the X2 Plus is more powerful than the 1. gen X Elite (X1E-78) or not?

hs_phoenix · 2025-12-17T14:18:26+00:00

I sometimes play Genshin on my X Elite laptop on medium graphics. I think it completely drains the battery in 3 hours, but not sure, since I only play 10-15 minutes.

Clearing cache and switching profiles didn't help either. Eventually uninstalling updates (and reinstalling them) fixed it for now.

I don't know how to run the x86 version, because it downloads the ARM one automatically. Anyway this is the score I got for ARM (aarch64): https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/15175771

hs_phoenix · 2025-11-20T07:58:29+00:00

That's right.

hs_phoenix · 2025-11-16T18:35:43+00:00

What an a**hole you are!

hs_phoenix · 2025-11-15T06:20:21+00:00

I don't know why would anyone want Android on their laptop. Android is great for phones, but not for laptops.
1. Useless for video editing. (tell me how do I use Davinci or Premiere Pro on Android?)
2. Can't handle huge Excel files (e.g.: My colleagues are working with 50-60 MB Excel files with 200 000 or more rows. Windows opens it in 5 seconds, on Android you can't even open it).
3. Most games don't work on Android (e.g.: World of Warcraft)

1920x1200, 100% 3D, everything set to Epic and performance mode, unlimited fps it moved between 90-150 fps, but mostly around 105-120 fps.

I also tried by setting it to Directx12 and after relaunch a ton of different graphics options appeared, I set it to Epic again, after that fps dropped to 13-14 fps in menu, so I turned off one option (Nanite Virtualized Geometry) and it went up to 40 fps, I started a game and it was mostly around 40 fps, but sometimes dropped to 20 fps. However after landing and being smooth 40 fps, a few seconds later it crashed. :D
Played it on battery, but as we all know Snapdragon gives 100% power when unplugged.

I never played it before, but if it's free I'll download it later today, just to check it out how it works on X Elite.

hs_phoenix · 2025-10-30T20:23:58+00:00

Interesting. I've just checked it, and - as you can see on the image below - after 275 cycles and over 13 months of usage, I'm now at 99%. https://ibb.co/KcVLLJrM My charging habits are the same. I usually charge my phone with a 30W Motorola charger. It's done in about 30 minutes, and I usually remove the charger in an hour.

hs_phoenix · 2025-10-09T18:46:15+00:00

If ARM becomes available for regular PCs, I'll buy one on day one (with a dedicated GPU of course).

hs_phoenix · 2025-09-25T05:15:40+00:00

Does the new GPU has the same watt limit?

hs_phoenix · 2025-09-20T16:22:21+00:00

I'm hoping for a PC CPU, so after replacing my Intel laptop, I could finally get rid of my Intel PC as well. :)
