RDNA should do very well in that test. Especially RDNA3.
Why is that?

I really like the idea of Steel Nomad Light. Because it's cross-platform (Windows, iOS, MacOS, Android) and is multi-architectural (x86, ARM).

Both the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 have the X1E80100??

Apple 9 and RDNA3 as well as Ada do well in these tests.

Current Mali(2023) and Adreno are not compute heavy at all.

Yikes, had to cancel when my pre-order went from 'shipping June 17th' to 'shipping sometime mid-September'. Told them to just forget it.

Sounds like maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
pick up one from Best buy. Some new reviews are popping up and its good

Edit: maybe hold off lol. The reviews came I it and it’s shakey

Premiliminary battery test
100% Battery: After watching an hour of few full HD (1080p) YouTube videos on Chrome at 75% brightness with speaker, my battery is still at 97%! And to top it off, I had forgotten to close Edge, which had several tabs open in the background.

Indeed. That will be a problem, when Mali and Adreno try to hop into the PC.

You say Steel Nomad uses a substantial amount of compute. Is this reflective of real games?

Steel nomad should largely reflect game performance in real games. Not fully but its better than most 3D mark tests

that's a really meh/who cares test, what needs to be tested is playing a game with YouTube that is using hardware acceleration in the background , is the game a hitchy mess or is it fine. Because that problem has really sucked over the years in windows.

I wonder if Adreno 800 series architecture will change that..
Adreno itself is a very good mobile GPU, so I have some faith in that team.

The new microarchitecture should be a huge departure from what they have today, but more than that, the biggest advantage of the sliced architecture is going to be scalability. I can totally see Qualcomm going Apple's way and scaling their GPUs from 1x up to 4x depending on the SKUs, which will be much more than Intel's 2x from the MTL-U base to MTL-H top or even AMD's 3x from 740M to 780M on Hawk Point. Especially if they are serious about competing with Apple.

THE REVIEWS ARE DROPPING



-10% performance hit in emulation.
Most x86 apps work fine in emulation.
Silent, nearly no fan noise.
Battery is great.
Price and value is great.

if Qualcomm really delivers on v2 then yeah they got this. They also need to work with game devs, like even on Mac Baulder Gate 3 is native on M chips.

Ok, but where's the jaw-dropping experience? It was hyped to the moon, where's the awe?

Why should I buy X Elite over the upcoming Strix Point for example? I'm not kidding, I'm actually looking at these products as a prospective buyer.
