Benchmark dev says Snapdragon X CPU is off to a good start — 6.5% of Geekbench 6 benchmarks in the past month run on Snapdragon X devices

Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus badges.

Geekbench shared the percentage of processors that ran its Geekbench 6 benchmark in the past 30 days. Out of the 81,081 tests done on a Windows PC between June 16 and July 16, 2024, 5,304 were conducted on a device running the Snapdragon X SoC. It might be small compared to Intel’s 48,970 and AMD’s 26,807, but we must remember that these laptops launched on June 18.

The Snapdragon X isn’t the first chip designed for Windows on Arm, but it’s the first to gain massive support from Microsoft and its partners like Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung. Furthermore, these chips are touted to have better efficiency than Intel and AMD offerings, with testing showing them to last more than 15 hours on a single charge.
