The first doubts emerged about the performance of the new Snapdragon X Elitethe chipset that we find at the base of the PC Copilot+ by Microsoft. The first evaluations of Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edgeshared by Reddit user r/caponica23, indicate lower performance than that of very dated devices such as the 2021 iPhone 12 mini.
The results come from benchmarks carried out with GeekBench and CrystalDiskMark, with a score of 1829 in single-core and 11379 in multi-core without the power supply. By connecting the PC to the mains, the scores increased slightly to 1841 for single-core and 11537 for multi-core. These results are significantly lower than expectationsfalling well short of the 2977 single-core and 15086 multi-core scores Qualcomm showed during demos.

There performance in games like Resident Evil 7: Village was also unsatisfactory, recording just 40-50 FPS at 1080p, even with AMD FSR enabled. Despite the harsh criticism, it is important to consider the possible explanations for such disappointing performances. It is possible that there was a hardware malfunctiongiven that during tests the CPU never reached a frequency higher than 2.52 GHz, despite the Elite X chipset promising boost clock up to 4.0 GHz.
Other benchmarks of various models equipped with Snapdragon X Elite highlight scores single-core between 1700 and 1800, once again well below of the performance of the iPhone 12. In any case, until it is clear whether a firmware update for less performing chipsit will be difficult to definitively judge the situation.
