Qualcomms next big mobile chip is going elite.
The new chip stack should support upwards of 44% better power efficiency than the last generation.

Qualcomm says the chip should support up to QHD+ resolutions at 240 Hz refresh rates.
Its also the first mobile chip to support Unreal Engine 5.3 Nanite.
All of that sounds impressive.

Well be awaiting the next slate of gaming phones to showcase the power of Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Qualcomms ARM-based Snapdragon chips were supposed to be the revolution lightweight Windows PCs needed.
They promised better performance than the traditional X86-based CPUs from Intel and AMD along with ludicrous battery life.

Competition being what it is, Qualcomm wasnt happy with Intels presentation.
Parthasarathy complained Intel compared its flagship chips to the Snapdragon X1E-80-100, not the X1E-84.

Intel, of course, shares its own benchmarks.
All this consternation over chips is getting ridiculous.
Qualcomm is right, its hard as hell to find a new ultralight PC with higher-end Lunar Lake chips.
The same can be said about its X1E-84-100 version of the Snapdragon X Elite.
None of this competition matters if consumers wont ever be able to use the CPUs chipmakers launch every year.
