Qualcomm has been testingmultiple Snapdragon X Elite SKUsfor various devices, and Geekbench benchmark reports prove this.

A new leak discovered byWindowsLatestsuggests that Snapdragon is developing a second chip, which will be called Plus.

However, unlike X Elite, X Plus may ship with lower cores and clock power, designed with affordable ARM PCs in mind.

So far, there is no news related to shipping the Snapdragon X Plus chip, but we do know that the company is planning to launch X Elite-based Windows 11 computers on ARM devices empowered with AI in mid-2024.

According to apost on Baidu forums, some testers mentioned Qualcomm is working on several SKUs under both X Elite and X Plus chips. Here are the names:

They also mentioned that both X Elite and X Plus powered devices will have Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs, which will support Vulkan.

Another interesting fact about the Snapdragon X lineup is that it will support several versions of DirectX, including the latest ones, DirectX11 and DirectX12.

We understand that the Snapdragon X Plus is for lower-segment devices, so it will have fewer cores or lower processing power.

However, we will have to wait for an official announcement from Qualcomm to learn how many cores it will have and what the processing power will be.
