Subject: Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Benchmarks On Ubuntu Linux vs. AMD vs. Intel

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

June 2024 marked the launch of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite to much initial fanfare for finally some compelling ARM laptop designs. While initially -- and still to this day with the likes of the TUXEDO X Elite laptop not materializing yet -- being focused on Windows 11 on ARM, there was hope among Linux users this would lead to a nice ARM Linux laptop experience, since after all Qualcomm and Linaro were working on enhancing the support for Linux. Now approaching the one year point, the overall state of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite support and performance is rather disappointing.

Seventh in 2025 alone! For those who don't know, Lou Gerstner accepted that IBM was unsustainable as a business and fired an unprecedented (truly huge) number of staff. For this he became either admired or reviled at IBM (depending on which side of the axes one fell). He sure left "his mark" (or stain).
