#Snapdragon X performance

In hopes to further disrupt the PC market, Qualcomm at its investor day summit on Tuesday revealed a new lineup of Snapdragon X processors specifically designed for sub- USD 600 (~Php35K) Windows PCs. However, the company's recent foray into the premium segment with its Snapdragon X Elite has faced challenges. Poor software and game compatibility, along with underwhelming GPU performance, have hindered adoption. It will be interesting to see if its new Snapdragon X chips can overcome these hurdles and successfully establish its name in the sub- USD 600 segment. Qualcomm is going in for the kill as the company announced two new powerful additions to their 64-bit mobile chip lineup, namely the octa-core Snapdragon 810 and hexa-core Snapdragon 808. Of the two, the Snapdragon 810 sports the better feature set consisting of four Cortex-A53 processors which handles the mundane tasks and another set of Cortex-A57 chips which takes care of the resource-heavy apps. Speaking of performance, the Snapdragon 810 will also benefit from the new Adreno 430 GPU which, according to Qualcomm, is 30% faster than Adreno 420 or around 80% faster than Adreno 330, the GPU we often see on flagship devices. Despite of being the modest between the two new chipsets, the Snapdragon 808 is by no means a push-over.
