Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread

They really dropped a 5gigahurtz cpu

X2 Elite

• 12-core Oryon V3
• 80 TOPS NPU

X2 Elite Extreme

• 18-core Oryon V3
• 5GHz

Well, those numbers sure look nice... Interesting to see how it actually performs.

 

[soresu]

Qualcomm bragged about not running their phone SoC tests in a freezer. 🤣

Lol like ye bro that aint the flex you think it is 😂🤣

 

[mvprod123]

18 watts in ST? 💀💀💀

 

[soresu]

Do we have any details on SVE2, SME2 support in Oryon V3?

 

[adroc_thurston]

18 watts in ST?

It's 5GHz tf did you expect?

Do we have any details on SVE2, SME2 support in Oryon V3?

SME2 definitely idk SVE2 who the hell runs SIMD on anything ARM.

Nothing like those lurvely relative perf curves with no numbers on them for scale.

 

[mvprod123]

They are afraid of comparisons with M4, and only compared the NPU. Where are the tensor cores for the GPU?

 

[adroc_thurston]

They don't have 'em.

Anything Android app with native code probably, and these days even WASM (v2?) supports it so who knows.

 

[adroc_thurston]

Who cares, none of them are hungry for SIMD perf.

5 gigahertz is not that hard.

5 gigahertz without cooking deez nuts is hard 🤣😂

 

[adroc_thurston]

5 gigahertz without cooking deez nuts is hard

It still does that.

 

[soresu]

Probably not a majority of apps, but a majority of emulators are pretty guaranteed to.

 

[soresu]

My point exactly.

 

[adroc_thurston]

but a majority of emulators are pretty guaranteed to.

Niche within niche.

I guess the clock speed mania comes for everybody eventually.

 

[soresu]

Oh ye and anything in FFMPEG (or dav1d) that doesn't have a hw ASIC will use SIMD.

 

[adroc_thurston]

Wdym mania, speed is nice.
If you wanna win, you gotta zoomzoom.

We'll see if QC keep up the "we don't reduce boost clocks on battery unlike our competition" shtick this time.

 

[trivik12]

Impressive specs. I wish they had a reference design with some OEM(like Microsoft) that could have released this year for holidays. Considering the phone SOC was announced today and Xiaomi is releasing its 17 series this month. They should have done the same for laptops as well.

They can afford that given their power delivery is a lot lot fancier.

Well LNL had PMIC, didn't exactly help Intel avoid reducing boost clocks on battery to hit the battery life targets.

Other than 1t power explosion, looks mighty impressive. Laptop parts finally get the new IP, which is a W. Looking forward to reviews.
