Like Apple Silicon, the X Elite has CPU, GPU, NPU, and memory all on one chip, greatly bolstering performance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>While the NPU (45 TOPS) introduces some high-tech AI features to Windows 11, the true appeal of these processors isn&#8217;t limited to their AI capabilities. Instead, it&#8217;s their combination of performance and power efficiency, gradually approaching the standards set by Apple&#8217;s M-series chips. Despite opinions on Apple as a company, their work on Apple Silicon has significantly influenced the entire industry.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Qualcomm suggests that the Snapdragon X Elite competes closely with Apple\u2019s entry-level M3 chip. However, these claims are based on <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ycombinator.com\/item?id=39724933\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">select benchmarks<\/a> that show the Snapdragon using more power than the M3, lagging behind in GPU performance, and having lower single-core speeds and significantly reduced memory bandwidth. Nonetheless, the narrowing gap between them is noteworthy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Additionally, the possibility of utilizing this SoC with a Linux operating system is incredibly exciting\u2014though the likelihood of affording a TUXEDO ARM notebook seems slim if the pricing of the Windows 11 Cop\u2026 is any indicator!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h2>Linux Support for Snapdragon<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualcomm.com\/developer\/blog\/2024\/05\/upstreaming-linux-kernel-support-for-the-snapdragon-x-elite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Qualcomm has written about<\/a> its efforts to get support for the this chip upstreamed into mainline kernels working with the ARM specialists at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linaro.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Linaro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Elsewhere, Canonical kernel engineer <em>Juerg Haefliger<\/em> is single-handedly bringing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omgubuntu.co.uk\/2024\/05\/ubuntu-24-04-lenovo-thinkpad-x13s-snapdragon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ubuntu 24.04 LTS support to the Lenovo ThinkPad x13s<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualcomm.com\/products\/mobile\/snapdragon\/pcs-and-tablets\/snapdragon-mobile-compute-platforms\/snapdragon-8cx-gen-3-compute-platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Snapdragon 8cx<\/a> (gen3) laptop preloaded with Windows 11 ARM; while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omgubuntu.co.uk\/2023\/10\/ubuntu-ashai-for-apple-silicon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ubuntu Asahi project<\/a> works to bring Ubuntu to Apple Silicon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>And of course, Ubuntu already supports single-board computers like the <em>Raspberry Pi<\/em> which have helped popularise, promote, and pave the way for ARM as a viable Linux platform.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>We\u2019re finally moving out of the era of low-cost, low-power Linux ARM laptops like the <em>PineBook<\/em> and into a world of powerful yet power-efficient devices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>There\u2019s plenty more work ahead for TUXEDO in order to get this device up to par for a commercial release (it\u2019s a prototype described as alpha-quality right now), but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tuxedocomputers.com\/en\/TUXEDO-on-ARM-is-coming.tuxedo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">company doesn\u2019t rule out<\/a> the possibility of it being ready before Christmas\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exciting stuff \u2014 but is ARM ready to rival Intel\/AMD for <em>your<\/em> needs?
