MagyarQualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-64-100
Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100
► remove from comparison
The Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 is a relatively affordable ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops that is rumored to debut some time in H2 2024. The X1P-42-100 is thought to have 8 Oryon CPU cores (8 threads) running at a not yet known clock speed of at least 3.0 GHz. As far as other key features are concerned, the X Plus probably comes with the same 3.8 TFLOPS Adreno X1-85 GPU, 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU and LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller that its bigger and smarter brother, the X1P-64-100, employs.
Architecture and Features
Qualcomm Oryon cores are in part based on Nuvia IP; they most likely make use of the ARM v8.7 microarchitecture. Much like modern AMD and Intel processors, the Snapdragon chip is compatible with USB 4 and thus with Thunderbolt 4 but it remains to be seen if it is is compatible with GeForce or Radeon discrete graphics cards.
The SoC is said to have 8 PCIe 4 and 4 PCIe 3 lanes for connecting various kinds of devices. NVMe SSDs are supported with a throughput of up to 7.9 GB/s. A 45 TOPS NPU for accelerating AI workloads is most likely included.
This X Plus chip does not make use of the same die that the X1P-64-100, X1E-78-100, X1E-80-100, X1E-84-100 are based on.
Performance
The faster X1P-64-100 (10 CPU cores running at higher clock speeds) is about as fast as the Intel Core i7-13700H and the 9-core Apple M4 are in multi-thread workloads. This means the X1P-42-100 will most likely be about as fast as the Intel Core i7-12650H and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H which is not bad at all for what is supposedly an almost budget CPU.
Like any other Windows on ARM platform, the Snapdragon X chip works best with applications and games compiled specifically for ARM processors. If making use of the built-in x86 to ARM emulation mode, a performance penalty of about 20% is to be expected.
Graphics
The 3.8 TFLOPS Adreno X1-85 GPU is DirectX 12-enabled but not DirectX 12 Ultimate-enabled, despite featuring VRS and ray tracing support. The 3.8 TFLOPS of performance that it supposedly delivers pale in comparison to the slowest current-generation professional Nvidia Ada graphics card for laptops, the RTX 500 Ada, that delivers up to 9.2 TFLOPS.
Its gaming performance is rather underwhelming; while slightly faster than the aging Iris Xe (96 EUs), the Adreno is not fast enough to outpace the Radeon 780M meaning there is little point in comparing it with full-fat discrete graphics cards. Baldur's Gate 3, a triple-A title released in 2023, is pretty much unplayable at 1080p / Low. GTA V, a game that saw the light of day in 2015, is playable at 1080p / High.
The Qualcomm iGPU will let you use up to 3 UHD 2160p monitors simultaneously. 2160p120 integrated displays are supported, as are the popular AV1, HEVC and AVC video codecs (both decoding and encoding). The hardware does not support the VVC codec; that feature remains a Lunar Lake exclusive for now.
Power consumption
The X1P-42-100 is most likely going to be less power-hungry than its more powerful X Elite brothers. Expect to see anything between 10 W and 35 W under long-term workloads because that's what Ryzen U chips normally consume.
The SoC is built with a 4 nm TSMC process for decent, as of H1 2024, energy efficiency.
Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-64-100
► remove from comparisonThe Snapdragon X Plus X1P-64-100 is a moderately fast ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops that debuted in April 2024. The X1P-64-100 has 10 Oryon CPU cores (10 threads) running at no more than 3.4 GHz. Other key features include the 3.8 TFLOPS Adreno X1-85 GPU, the 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU and an impressively fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller.
The chip's smarter X Elite series brothers including first and foremost the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-84-100 are thought to be based on the same die with the same NPU but with more CPU cores enabled, higher GPU clock speeds, higher CPU clock speeds and possibly higher power targets as well.

Qualcomm Oryon cores are in part based on Nuvia IP; they most likely make use of the ARM v8.7 microarchitecture. Much like modern AMD and Intel processors, the Snapdragon chip is compatible with USB 4 and thus with Thunderbolt 4 but it remains to be seen if it is is compatible with GeForce or Radeon discrete graphics cards.
The Qualcomm SoC is said to have 12 PCIe 4 and 4 PCIe 3 lanes for connecting various kinds of devices. NVMe SSDs are supported with a throughput of up to 7.9 GB/s; furthermore, most laptops built around the chip are expected to have 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8448 RAM. There is also a 45 TOPS NPU for accelerating AI workloads.
Performance
Its multi-thread performance is very close to that of the Intel Core i7-13700H and the 9-core Apple M4, meaning this is a pretty fast CPU that's good for most tasks one could possibly throw at it in 2024.
Like any other Windows on ARM platform, the Snapdragon X chip works best with applications and games compiled specifically for ARM processors. If making use of the built-in x86 to ARM emulation mode, a performance penalty of about 20% is to be expected.
