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 ;-)

Unless they added low power cores to it, its probably isn't great. Chip design was for originally for datacenters.

Didn't laptops with Snapdragon X Elite CPUs have pretty good battery life?

X2 Elite shouldn't be that different I think.

If you read anything online, you'll realize that the battery life 'is' great. For example, LTT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFMTJm3vmh0

they do but not extraordinary either.

ive a x elite and a bunch of other laptops

i like the mba 13 (but barely) and the zbook 395+

the x elite is just a bit slow,.incompatible and newer x86 battery life isnt far off

Looks like the shift key isn't too reliable either.

They were joking. The dev kit didn’t have a battery.

They did add E-cores in X2.
