Snapdragon X Elite Is Trash At Gaming

[RaedVS]

We really are living in an age where we the consumers actually pay to be beta testers for companies' new products.

The moment Qualcomm started rabbiting on about how much better they were than Apple, I knew the X was going to be dogsh*t.

[egoralokhin]

I hope to see native ARM support soon.

[JaegermeisterCoomerstein]

the thing even lags on a 32-bit game from 2003 (NFSU2), the translation layer is just so bad man. If arm takes over the desktop space somehow, RIP retro game players lmao

[kai-uyjf]

finally a sane person realized that an "expensive" laptop cant do gaming because of developers not because "it is a mac" or that a game runs better because "it is windows"

[WildcardKiana]

Doom Eternal, the game where you shoot big fluffy meatballs!

[RobloxianX]

Exactly. You could get a laptop with a Core Ultra 7, or a Snapdragon X Elite. For around the same price with the same RAM and Storage. Meanwhile, the Core Ultra 7 would likely get double the FPS in GPU related tasks.

My school Chromebook is somehow worse than this 💀💀💀

[Arutemysu]

This isn't the the GPU or CPU part of things at all, but the translation and/or emulation side of things.

thank you for mentioning lack of ARM support 👍

[ezzzzyyy]

They did not need to name this after my favorite flower :(

[samuels]

video expectations during the intro were a 300 hz sine

[GeoMetro]

Hopefully, they release some drivers for the GPU soon

[limieon]

The issue is not Qualcomm, the issue lies in the bad ARM support of windows and games not being optimized enough to run on a power-efficient ARM cpu

[TemplePate]

I'm curious to see Linux and it's performance

[dakotawilliams]

I decided I don't want to waste tons of money on tech. Now I just use an acer nitro with some custom bits and iv used it for years to play the hardest games and highest graphics. Works good for mid lv price.

[noshow]

I think it might take some time for the games to run since they are not optimized for this new chip yet. It's a start from Qualcomm and I hope they improve

[HyperScorpio]

I love how Linus praised it so hard he even tried to say "It can game!"...

[TepidCritic]

Alright but I'd subscribe to that salt and pepper beard

[Gamsshot_Boi]

Wait for same time as a mobile and pc gamer i know the power of adreno gpus
