Now that there are some specs, development news, and Snapdragon X Elite vs Intel benchmarks from the past couple days to discuss (with the exception noted below), I thought I'd put together a few links for people. I'm curious how people feel about this iteration of technology in an ARM package for development, tinkering, or edge AI applications. And are folks enthused by the possibilities (Windows or otherwise), dislike the price points, or tired of the AI/CoPilot buzz?
New Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Benchmarks Show It's a Serious Contender
Qualcomm Snapdragon Dev Kit for Windows is a tiny desktop PC with a focus on AI apps
Debian 12 and Linux upstreaming for the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite SoC (January, 2024)
Microsoft is already taking orders for both Surface Pro (11ᵗʰ Edition, $999+) and Surface Laptop (7ᵗʰ Edition, $999+)[1] orders planned for shipping in June. Each can be bought in X Plus or X Elite flavors, though Wikipedia suggests there are several models of the X Elite so I'm curious which flavors we'll see in MS devices.
[1] Note that I linked to the "business" versions of the MS Store listings because they get straight to the point with a tech overview, etc. The "business" versions are listed for $100 more than the consumer versions.
Sharing this in ~comp, but if there's a better place for this then I'm happy to see it moved to a more suitable location. Thanks!
