Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite moves into the laptop market with the powerful Adreno X1 GPU. The naming convention breaks away from the Adreno nxx tradition, possibly indicating a scaled out version of the Adreno 730. With larger vectors and thread level parallelism, the Adreno X1 competes against top-notch GPUs from Intel and AMD. Qualcomm enhances memory subsystems for better performance, boasting a 128-bit LPDDR5X memory controller. The Adreno X1’s cache system, GMEM usage, and local memory allocations are innovative and optimized for different scenarios. Though Qualcomm’s cache setup is not as robust as AMD’s or Intel’s, the Adreno X1 shows improvements compared to previous models.
