The first tests with Snapdragon X Elite laptops do not fulfill most of what was promised

Just yesterday the new laptops began to be sold with Snapdragon X Series processors, the bet for Windows laptops with Qualcomm’s Arm architecture. But the first tests it seems that They do not fulfill everything promised by the chip manufacturer, and some tests left behind compared to the current Intel solutions and their Core Ultra.

The first tests have been carried out with the ASUS Vivobook S15one of the models what is available for sale since its launch. This ASUS Vivobook has a 70 Wh batterywith a longer battery life than many x86 laptops, but compared to MacBook Air with M3Apple’s has up to 40% longer duration Of battery. It seems that the operations where there is a bit of workload do drain the battery quickly to this ASUS Vivobook.

Other types of tests, such as video encoding, file extraction or even document conversion nor does it have superior performance to Intel solutions, where the latter is up to 50% faster. You also get a lower score than the Intel Core Ultra in tests memory write in AIDA64although its memory latency is much lower at 8.1 ns on the ASUS compared to more than 100 ns on the Intel.

We had also seen Baldur’s Gate III working on one of these computers, but it seems that not all games work on the platform. We have also read in these first tests that those that work They do it with difficulties to reach 30 FPSeven with configurations of low graphics and resolution of 1080p.

It seems that Microsoft still has a lot to optimize in your Windows operating system to improve and reach the results offered and promised by the manufacturer. Another reason may be CPU included with this ASUS Vivobook, since there are several options available within the Snapdragon X Elite. We will have to wait for see other tests with different teams to compare the different results.
