Another Snapdragon X Elite for Windows 11 is in works?

We recently learned about a Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon X Elite – XE1800, by Geekbench listing.

This time, Windows Latest has reported that they found Lenovo hardware, which uses a different Snapdragon X Elite SKU. This indicates that Qualcomm might be working on creating multiple SKUs for Snapdragon X Elite.

Qualcomm has been working with Microsoft to develop powerful ARM-based chips for Windows OS for nearly ten years. With Snapdragon X, it is expected to have more advanced chips; here are a few things that show it is a major upgrade:

• 12 cores with the capacity to run up to 3.8 GHz speeds, and can run even faster up to 4.3 GHz for one or two core at the same time.
• Smart brain for AI tasks that can perform 45 trillion operations per second.
• Graphics unit can handle up to 4.6 trillion operations per second.
• Supports 64MP camera for high-quality photos and 4K videos, and ability to run 36MP camera simulanteously.
• Supports up to 64GB of fast memory.
• Comes with Snapdragon X65 5G modem, that supports latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies.

The new Snapdragon X Elite is Snapdragon X Elite – X1E78100 – Qualcomm Oryon CPU, which was spotted in the Geekbench listing and was tested on Lenovo 83ED, which is the reason we believe that Snapdragon is working on multiple SKUs.

We also think that Qualcomm might be testing different Snapdragon X-branded SKUs for Windows, and X Elite is just one of them. Due to the name, we also think that X Elite might be the higher version and Snapdragon might be also working on some others for different purposes.

As of now, we don’t have more information about this new Snapdragon chip, but it could be designed for a different objective than  Qualcomm ZH-WXX (X1E80100), and there could be more SKUs.
