Benchmark leaks Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge with Snapdragon X Elite, Microsoft Windows 11

Qualcomm not too long ago mentioned it’s working with its companions to launch Snapdragon X Elite products with the latest model of Microsoft Windows in mid-2024. Samsung can be constructing its personal Snapdragon X Elite-powered Galaxy Book4 Edge, and the latest benchmark reveals thrilling efficiency upgrades.

Microsoft Windows Latest has noticed a latest benchmark for “Galaxy Book 4 Edge” on Geekbench, a well-known benchmarking platform. What’s notably attention-grabbing is the title of the latest Samsung {hardware}. It seems like this may very well be a latest moniker below the Galaxy Book lineup, particularly made for Microsoft Windows 11 on ARM.

Samsung doesn’t have any laptops known as “Edge,” so it’s possible that this might be the latest sub-brand for Microsoft Windows 11 on ARM units. Moving ahead, let’s focus on the spectacular efficiency of the benchmarked Snapdragon X Elite. As proven within the beneath screenshot from Geekbench, the principle scores are: single-core: 2,706 and multi-core: 12,646.

If you’re unfamiliar with these ideas of the scores, they principally inform us how effectively the chip performs duties that use only one core of the CPU or a number of cores on the similar time. This Galaxy Book4 Edge makes use of Snapdragon X Elite XE8100100 with 12 cores, and the “Base Frequency” is 4.01 GHz.

We additionally observed that the ability plan set on the benchmarked laptop computer is “Balanced,” which implies these numbers can be higher within the “High performance” energy plan. That’s as a result of the Balanced energy plan routinely adjusts processing energy based mostly on the device’s utilization and is often the default setting.

On the opposite hand, high-performance plan doesn’t decrease the CPU’s pace. Here are some extra particulars of the device from our evaluation:

• Runs Microsoft Windows 11 Home (64-bit), however there’s no point out of “Version 24H2” or “ Microsoft Windows 11 Preview”. This might imply the device was examined with an older model of Microsoft Windows 11. The outcomes shall be higher with Microsoft Windows 11 model 24H2, which is optimized for ARM chips.
• Motherboard is listed as SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. NP9X0MAA-EXP.
• Topology: It exhibits that there the CPU has 12 cores codenamed Oryon.
• Identifier: This refers back to the particular household and mannequin of the CPU, which on this case is ARMv8 (64-bit) Family 8 Model 1 Revision 201.
• Cluster 1 and Cluster 2: These may confer with teams of cores throughout the CPU that deal with various kinds of duties, with 8 cores in a single cluster and 4 in one other.

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge with Snapdragon X Elite vs Apple M1, M2 and M3

In the desk beneath, we’ve in contrast the Galaxy Book4 Edge X Elite with different related ARM chips, together with the Apple M3.

The above information, collected and arranged by Microsoft Windows Latest, exhibits that the Book4 Edge is a transparent winner when benchmarked in opposition to the Apple M1 and M2. However, it’s nonetheless lagging behind the Apple M3. This might change when Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 is optimized, and Snapdragon X Elite is examined on manufacturing {hardware} within the efficiency plan.

As beforehand reported, Qualcomm can be testing a number of SKUs and at the least two chips below the Snapdragon X lineup for Microsoft Windows 11 on ARM.

One is known as “Snapdragon X Elite”, and one other may very well be “Snapdragon X (?), which shall be barely much less highly effective than the flagship Elite.
