Qualcomm plans to release a budget Snapdragon X Plus chip with the X1P-42-100. This would be the most affordable SoC in its lineup and is designed for the $700-dollar Windows on Arm PCs arriving next year. These Snapdragon X PCs are built for budget customers who want to try the AI experience but do not necessarily need high-performance computing. Wccftech has gathered multiple benchmark test results of the Asus ProArt PZ13, which features Qualcomm’s most affordable chip, and the results were generally mixed.
The 8-core X1P-42-100 only fell back by around 5% in Cinebench single-core tests versus its 10-core X1P-64-100 sibling, but its multi-core performance dropped by 20%, probably because it has 20% fewer cores.
