Qualcomm released the latest Windows on Snapdragon notebook platform SoC Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 on September 3 this year. However, until Apple's M1 chip is full of reputation, few notebooks equipped with Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 are seen. On December 24, the HP Elite Folio notebook, which is expected to be released by CES next year, appeared in the GeekBench scoring database. This machine carrying Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 has 793 points for single core and 3088 points for multi-core.

On GeekBench, you can see this 13.5-inch HP Elite Folio 2-in-1 laptop with an 8-core Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2, a main frequency of 3.15GHz (Snapdragon 8cx is 4 * 2.84GHz+4 * 1.8GHz), and 16GB of memory.

first The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 was issued by Acer's Spin 7 Flip Screen Notebook ↑. The CPU of Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 is also an 8-core Kryo 495 (Snapdragon 855/855+contemporaneous, A76 like architecture), Adreno 690 GPU, which supports up to 2133MHz 8-channel LPDDR4x memory, NVMe SSD and UFS 3.0 flash memory, and supports 5G through the external Qualcomm X55 baseband. Qualcomm said that the 7W power consumption Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 exceeded the 10 generation Core by 18% (15W) in terms of overall system performance.

After all, it is an old architecture similar to A76. Even on the mobile platform, the performance of Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 has lagged behind, which makes it more difficult to face the desktop platform.

The same ARM architecture will naturally be compared with the Apple M1, which has a single core of about 1730 and a multi-core of about 7500, respectively 2.2 times and 2.4 times of the Snapdragon 8cx Gen2.

Of course, M1 is open and closed. It is very normal to lose it. In contrast to Intel, which has been squeezing toothpaste for many years, the i7-10510Y (4-core 8-thread, 1.2GHz - 4.5GHz) performance is not much better in models close to heat dissipation conditions, and the Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 seems to be less ugly... If Microsoft had not done a good job in supporting ARM architecture, the situation of Intel CPU models would be even more awkward.
