Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite has been released and laptop makers have finally brought several Copilot+ PCs to market. We recently got our hands on the Asus Vivobook S15, which features the new Snapdragon X Elite chipset. To test its performance, power consumption, clock speeds and more, I extensively benchmarked the Snapdragon X Elite chipset (X1E-78-100) using a variety of tools. With that said, let's begin.

We ran the Geekbench 6 CPU test on the Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-78-100), both on power and battery. And there was almost no difference in CPU performance, when plugged in or on battery. Keep in mind that all tests were done in Best Performance mode and Full-speed mode enabled in the MyASUS app.

In power, the Snapdragon X Elite achieved a single-core score of 2,441 points and a multi-core score of 14,050 points. While the X Elite scored 2,406 and 14,044 on the single-core and multi-core tests respectively on battery.

If we talk about the Snapdragon X Elite's thermals, well, the CPU temperature at idle was 41 degrees Celsius before the Geekbench test, and during the test it peaked at 75 degrees Celsius. The surface temperature around the keyboard was 29.7 degrees Celsius at idle, rising to 35.5 degrees Celsius during the intensive workload.
