Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge With Snapdragon X Elite Spotted on Geekbench

Samsung recently announced its Galaxy Book4 series laptops with Intel Core Ultra processors. At the same time, a new variant of SamsungGalaxy Book4 “Edge”(Model: NP940XMAA-EXP) appeared on Geekbench running theSnapdragon X Elite chipset. The upcoming laptop by Samsung is powered by the “X1E80100” variant of Qualcomm’s chipset.

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge with Snapdragon X Elite scored2,785 in the single-core testand 13,925 in the multi-core test on Geekbench 6. The scores are higher than what we have seen before onanother device running the Snapdragon X Elite. The Geekbench listing shows that Snapdragon X Elite on the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge has a base frequency of 4.01GHz and comes with 12 Oryon CPU cores (8+4).

It comes with 16GB of RAM and is running on the“Balanced” power planon Windows 11 Home. In comparison to the Apple M3 Pro which comes with 12 CPU cores, the Snapdragon X Elite falls short of defeating Apple’s latest M3 processor. However, it performs better than Apple M2 and M1 processors.ChipsetsFrequencySingle-coreMulti-coreSnapdragon X Elite (Galaxy Book4 Edge, Windows)4.01GHz278513925Snapdragon X Elite (Qualcomm ZH-WXX, Windows)4.01GHz257412562Snapdragon X Elite 80W (Qualcomm CRD, Linux)3.8GHz323817181Apple M3 Pro4.05GHz303715246Apple M2 Pro3.4GHz266114634Geekbench listing linked above

We are yet to see Qualcomm’s PC chipset crossing the 3,000 mark on the single-core Geekbench test while running Windows. When the Nuvia-designed chipset was announced in November 2023, Qualcomm demonstrated that the80W version of Snapdragon X Elitescored3238 in the single-core testand 17181 in the multi-core test. However, it was running Linux and not Windows. We have to wait and ascertain the power envelope of X Elite featured in Galaxy Book4 Edge.

Apart from that, anew leakon X shows that the Snapdragon X Elite has as many as eight SKUs. Besides Snapdragon X Elite, there is also a “Snapdragon X Plus” variant, perhaps with fewer cores, reduced frequency, and lower power consumption.

It’s being said that Snapdragon X Elite-powered laptops will launch byJune this year. Microsoft recentlyannounced an eventfor March 21st where it might unveil new Surface laptops aka “AI PCs”, likely with the Snapdragon X Elite SoC. So are you excited for Qualcomm’s ARM chipset?
