Understanding these specifications will help you choose the right Snapdragon X Elite chip based on your performance needs and budget. However, you can clearly see that the difference between the Snapdragon X Elite chips is pretty slim. Only the benchmarking tests and the AI applications distinguish them in a more clear way.

We didn’t include the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-00-1DE version because it was the first Elite chip included in the developer versions.

Now, we made a list of all the released or upcoming Copilot+ PCs and there are already a lot of Snapdragon X Elite laptops already on the market.

We also compared the Snapdragon X Elite chips vs Intel’s Core i7 CPUs if you want to know more. However, it’s more interesting how the Snapdragon X Elite compares to Apple’s M4 chips because they are in the same ARM family.

We also have a guide on Snapdragon X Elite vs Z1 Extreme, so don’t miss it. To learn about performance differences, visit our Snapdragon X Elite comparison guide.
