Overview
- Qualcomm ran controlled benchmarks on a 16‑inch reference laptop using the top X2E‑96‑100 configuration with 18 cores and 48 GB of on‑package LPDDR5X, covering Geekbench 6.5, Cinebench 2024, UL Procyon Vision, and 3DMark.
- In Geekbench 6.5, the chip posted a 4,072 single‑core score—about 7% over Apple’s M4 Pro—and delivered a sizable multi‑core lead of roughly 35% versus Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285H in the vendor’s tests.
- The NPU is rated at 80 TOPS (INT8) for on‑device AI, and the Adreno X2‑90 GPU adds hardware ray tracing with Qualcomm citing up to ~2.3× performance versus the prior generation.
- A three‑controller Memory‑on‑Package design provides a 192‑bit interface and up to about 228 GB/s with 48 GB LPDDR5X; Qualcomm attributes the 48 GB cap to current 16 GB die availability and says larger capacities could follow as bigger dies ship.
- Qualcomm did not disclose configured TDP or per‑test power, the systems ran on mains power, and results may vary in retail notebooks depending on OEM cooling, power limits, and independent validation.
