The Snapdragon X Plus 8-Core has slower multi-threaded performance, a lower-end GPU, and lesser camera support, but it should bring down prices for Snapdragon laptops.

Classic, confuse the uninformed customer into buying the wrong thing.
At least the part number is different, unlike RTX4070 with GDDR6.

I really wish Qualcomm would improve their naming, but ESPECIALLY their GPU naming. Use some actual model names, or at least “N-core Adreno Graphics”.

The architecture supposedly has 6 shader blocks and 4.5Tflops in its top configuration, and 3.8Tflops is almost exactly 5/6ths of that, implying those are 5-core GPUs at the same clock speed.

2.1Tflops doesn’t map as smoothly, but 3-cores at same clocks would be 2.25Tflops, so that’s maybe a 3-core config with a downclock?

1.7Tflops is even more messy, but I’m guessing that it’s 3 cores at an even lower clock, since 2 cores at flagship clocks would only be 1.5Tflops?

the article does not mention Watts consumed, including peak and iddle, thats fair more interesting point to know than Ghz's comparisons
