According to software developer Jeff Geerling, despite having a significantly higher power limit than regular Snapdragon X Elite laptops, Qualcomm’s official dev kit for the CPU doesn’t show significant performance gains.
The Snapdragon X Elite dev kit uses a mini-PC-like form factor, like the NUC and the Mac Mini, and can run Qualcomm’s flagship laptop chip with much more power than most laptops. More power allows for higher clock speeds, which translates into higher performance.
