As someone who has used the Snapdragon X Elite (12 core Oryon) Dev Kit as a daily driver for the past year, I find this exciting. The X Elite performance still blows my mind today - so the new X2 Elite with 18 cores is likely going to be even more impressive from a performance perspective!

I can't speak to the battery life, however, since it is dismal on my Dev Kit ;-)

Wait, you got one of those Dev kits? How? I thought they were all cancelled.

Edit: apparently they did end up shipping.

They got cancelled after they started shipping, and even people who received the hardware got refunded.
