Qualcomm teases Snapdragon X with no mention of Elite — news of second chip could be coming on April 24

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite ARM64 CPUs.

Qualcomm is teasing something big for next week surrounding its highly anticipated processors that will be featured in Windows 11 laptops. The company announced in an X post to "stay tuned for 4/24." We can't say for certain that we'll learn details about an additional member of the chip family, but whatever Qualcomm is announcing will be Snapdragon X-related.

So far, we had a hands-on experience with multiple Oyron-based SKUs in New York, with selected benchmarks showing it to exceed certain AMD, Apple M3, and Intel CPUs. As of now, it is too early to claim how many SKUs or series will be available, let alone real-world performance. According to a report, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7, Thinkpad T14s Gen 6, and Samsung's Book4 Edge are some of the notebooks that will use the Snapdragon X Elite. It is speculated that Microsoft's upcoming Surface Laptop 6 will also use this chip. However, these new machines won't launch until mid-2024 at the earliest according to Qualcomm's previous guidance.
