Windows 11 and Chrome OS laptops utilizing this chip may provide similar performance and battery durations. Qualcomm recently provided a performance review of its Snapdragon X Elite chip. The chip underwent benchmark tests against widely recognized processors, including the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, Intel Core i9-13800H, and Apple M2. Qualcomm's data suggests that the Snapdragon X Elite aligns closely with these processors in terms of performance.

At a private event organized by Qualcomm, reference systems were presented to a select audience. These included System A, fitted with a 15.6-inch 4K display and an 80W TDP chip, and System B, with a 14.5-inch 2.8K display and a 23W TDP. Benchmark tests, specifically in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme and GFXBench Aztec Ruins (1080p, Normal), displayed the Adreno GPU of the Snapdragon X Elite having a performance edge over the integrated GPUs of Ryzen 9 7940HS and Core i7-13800H. Notably, the Adreno GPU showcased better performance metrics across the board, except against Apple's M2 chip, which edged out System B but was surpassed by the 80W setup. There was a narrow performance gap between the two systems with different TDPs.

An analysis by the Geekerwan YouTube channel assessed the gaming capabilities of the Snapdragon X Elite using the "Control" game as a benchmark tool. In the 3DMark Wildlife Extreme benchmark, tailored for graphics evaluations, the Snapdragon X Elite recorded 39.2 FPS. For comparison, Apple's M2 Max reported 60 FPS, Apple's M2 logged 40 FPS, Intel's Core i7-13700H noted 22.5 FPS, and the Radeon 780M, paired with AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS's iGPU, registered 28 FPS. In the "Control" benchmark (1080p, minimal graphics settings), the Snapdragon X Elite reached 53 FPS, closely trailing the Radeon 780M's 56 FPS and leading against Apple M2's 43 FPS.
