Qualcomm claims Snapdragon X2 Plus beats Intel and AMD in performance and efficiency for Windows laptops



Qualcomm has shared new performance data for its Snapdragon X2 Plus 10-core and 6-core chips with the press, showing large gains in both CPU and NPU efficiency compared with current AMD and Intel laptop processors. Tests were run on Windows 11 using Geekbench 6.5 and UL Procyon benchmarks.

According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon X2 Plus 10-core delivers up to 3.1x faster multi-core CPU performance at the same power as competitors, while also achieving 52% higher peak performance. Competing x86 platforms reportedly require 4.4xmore power to reach similar throughput. In single-core workloads, the X2 Plus shows 3.5× better efficiency and 28% higher peak scores in Geekbench 6.5 versus AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 and Intel Core Ultra 7 256V/265U processors.

Performance comparisons were made using reference platforms: Snapdragon X2 Plus 10-core (X2P-64-100), AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 tested in an ASUS ZenBook 14 (UM3406KA), and Intel Core Ultra 7 265U/256V in Dell XPS 13 (9350) and Dell Pro 16 Plus (PN615250) systems. Qualcomm says all systems were tested at maximum sustainable performance levels, excluding idle power periods.
