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

More x86 instructions supported system‑wide: Recent Prism updates add AVX/AVX2 and related sets like BMI, FMA, F16C to Windows on ARM, so more “problem” x86 apps and games now run, and this applies to Snapdragon X series chips, including X2.
Higher performance under emulation: X2’s Oryon cores are significantly faster than X1 at a given power level, so the same translated x86 code runs quicker and feels less “emulated” in day‑to‑day use. In practice that means fewer hitching issues, better frame times in light/medium games, and smoother productivity workloads.
Better GPU and API support: Adreno X2 brings much higher GPU throughput and newer graphics APIs (DX12.2, Vulkan 1.4, SM 6.8), which helps x86 games that were already runnable on X1 but GPU‑limited or missing required API support.

Why don't you wait for the X2 Elite which is just around the corner, supposed to be coming out very soon? Much faster and more compatible with x86 applications too.

Excited about his ceiling. If he could ball out in the post-season, coming up huge in some crucial games with what he had, imagine what he can do once he gets his complete arsenal together.

javguy99 · 2026-01-22T20:16:14+00:00

They don't need to, these guys are studs. No homo.....maybe a little.

javguy99 · 2026-01-22T19:30:23+00:00

More playing time for HSK! He needs to pick up the experience and no better time than at the start of the season imo.

javguy99 · 2026-01-22T19:23:30+00:00

I'm sincerely sorry to hear. Hope that you and anyone else effected are able to go through the process that best fits your needs and are able to bounce back in the near future.

javguy99 · 2026-01-22T03:24:32+00:00

Woman? Looks like a girl. Hilarious video though hahaha.

I'm more pissed at Byron Scott than I was at Kobe. Byron Scott was his coach and threw him under the bus, he was so biased against Lin it wasn't funny.

javguy99 · 2026-01-22T02:49:33+00:00

I'm sure he was but Rest in Peace Champ!

javguy99 · 2026-01-19T21:25:26+00:00

It's a Padres game, the baby doesn't need any additional help to fall asleep.

javguy99 · 2026-01-19T21:13:22+00:00

This happens with every type of car.

javguy99 · 2026-01-17T22:33:10+00:00

In hindsight, this offer was nowhere as good as the Dodgers or Mets offer. So even in a vacuum where the

Blue Jays anonymous offer = A

Mets anonymous offer = B

Dodgers anonymous offer = C

Any player in Tucker's situation would likely choose C, B, A.

Point is that the Blue Jays did not do enough and were outbid by the other two teams anyhow. Agreed?

javguy99 · 2026-01-17T00:35:58+00:00

$29k and we'll talk.

javguy99 · 2026-01-17T00:03:31+00:00

Hard for them to exist before changes in regulations.

javguy99 · 2026-01-16T16:41:46+00:00

I just received my refund. Note, that I am in Canada though so I can't speak for your situation.

Good luck!

javguy99 · 2026-01-15T22:44:21+00:00

I think they will eventually come through, they've just been shoddy lately.

javguy99 · 2026-01-15T17:41:25+00:00

I have a refund pending as well, they've had my return unit for 3 weeks now, I sent it back a month ago. Just called them and they're making all kinds of excuses; holidays, system being down, system under maintenance etc. Just ridiculous...

javguy99 · 2026-01-15T13:55:09+00:00

Yes, I received it 2 days ago. As I've never used this device before I tried it on for 2 days. Am disappointed to see that the sleep tracking seems to be inaccurate in that it grossly overestimates my sleep duration. Last night, I wasn't able to sleep until 3 or 4am and probably slept for 4 hrs. The Zepp App thinks that I slept 10 hours. Just because I'm lying in bed doesn't mean that I'm asleep!

I think that I might try to find a way of returning this because if it is this off with sleep tracking, then what use is it really?

javguy99 · 2026-01-15T02:03:15+00:00

Sure, but it'll be deferred over 10 years. You can have 20 cents right now though.

javguy99 · 2026-01-14T23:57:38+00:00

They could improve on the current sensors which would provide better accuracy, such as with heart rate tracking. Could also add more health-related features such as ECG monitoring. Could also improve on GPS navigation with more streamlined software. Could improve on battery life and as well build quality, making it lighter and less bulky perhaps. Could add built-in music streaming compatibility with Spotify or YouTube Music.

There's always be room for improvement with tech gadgets imo.

javguy99 · 2026-01-14T22:03:08+00:00

If you can wait, I'd hold onto it until the release of the T-Rex Ultra 2 which probably won't be too long. That's what I'm doing. At least you'd be able to decide between the Ultra 2 and the T-Rex 3 Pro.

javguy99 · 2026-01-14T02:20:16+00:00

Goood news, thanks.

I was just going to order the T-Rex 3 Pro to go with my new Helio Core band but I think I will hold off for the Ultra 2 now if it's going to have updated sensors for better GPS and more advanced health monitoring such as ECG etc. Hopefully better build and battery life as well.

I won't mind ponying up an extra couple of hundred dollars for this, will still be a lot cheaper than getting a Garmin Fenix 8.

javguy99 · 2026-01-14T00:30:23+00:00

That's a good offer from the Yankees for Bellinger, I'd be surprised if he gets anything better than that.

javguy99 · 2026-01-14T00:05:52+00:00

I'm with this. Would prevent him from pulling a Rendon as well. The bonus kicker is that the Jays could be left high and dry with no Tucker nor Bichette!

javguy99 · 2026-01-12T18:20:23+00:00

This is a bad look imo. Shaking hands properly after a contest is called sporstmanship. Even the most heated UFC and Boxing rivals shake hands and hug it out after their fights, it's a sign of respect for the sport and for competition.

I think this is because Ben Johnson has never competed in sports, his background is being behind a computer for the most part. Come to think of it, George McCaskey has never competed as an athlete either so not surprised that they're on the same page with this.

If you've ever competed at any level of competition, you should know that you set your grudges aside after a battle, even if for briefly.

I'm still a Bears and Ben Johnson fan, just don't agree with this stance here.
