More curious about the base x2. Don't need all that power but I'd love the arm based battery life

lmao they didn't have the balls to compare with the ACTUAL top-end chip like the 275HX or even the 255H, else they would be embarrassed. The Core V series are more comparable to the X2 chip, but they won't dare to show its numbers (it's gonna be pathetic) so they have to show their strongest chip beating one of the weaker chips from the competition. X2 EE should be compared to the HX series, but judging by the numbers shown here, even if the test was not cherrypicked, it would still sit below the H series chip which is not even the top chip in the x86 camp.
Back to making mobile slops, Qualcomm!

People choose non-Mac devices for cost-to-performance ratio and flexibility between work & game. First gen X Elite can run games, but latest AAA titles can run at 720p low settings which is unusable for games. Laptops with first gen X Elite costs the same as mid-end laptops with Intel/AMD cpu plus Nvidia/AMD gpu which can run AAA games at 1080p mid at least, so only few people would choose X Elite.
Best scenario would be matching X Elite with discrete Nvidia/AMD gpu but that would drive the price even higher.

Meh. I gave up hoping on Qualcomm to push Windows laptops forward. I mean looking at reality, and there are still OEMs selling laptops with 12th Gen Intel CPU. Heck, even Intel is bringing back their 14nm zombie. The only hope is AMD.

As an M1 Pro user, I’m really happy that Qualcomm’s advancements will keep Apple on its toes. But the problem with Windows on ARM isn’t ARM, it’s the Windows part. If the compatibility and overall stability doesn’t improve, then no matter what godly chip you put inside, it will still fail in the mass market appeal.

PanRT, 02 Oct 2025I wait on more test, geekbech no good benchmark.yeah, geekbench is more suitable to test short burstly load, more suitable to phones instead of laptops/pc. It is like comparing a dragster to a semi truck; would a vehicle that able to accelerate to 200 miles per hour in 3 seconds (but need to stop immediately or risk damaging itself) considered "better" than a vehicle that can run 60 miles per hour while carrying 50 tons of load for 500 miles continuously?

I don't care; if the price is about US$2000, it's useless. Windows 11 ARM is not good enough. And... Compare it with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395. It's a good chip, of course, but where is the software?

Why wasn't the benchmark done against the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395, the 8060s inside it is insanely powerful for an iGPU

And the software compatibility?
