Could your next gaming PC run a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor?
We believe Baldurs Gate 3 is running in emulation in the video shared by Arthur.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processor delivers promising benchmark results, beating some of the most powerful laptops on the market.
That makes the performance much more impressive.
Importantly, Snapdragon X Elite PCs are not being marketed as gaming PCs.
Running games like Baldur’s Gate 3 demonstrates the power of the chip and the viability of emulation.
No one should expect the Surface Pro 10 or other ARM-powered computers to compete with thebest gaming laptops.
Here’s a demo of Baulders Gate 3 running at 1080p hovering around 30FPS, which is perfectly playable!
The most powerful Windows laptop we’ve ever reviewed was theASUS ROG Strix SCAR with an AMD R9 7945HX3D.
That PC from ASUS hit just over 9,000 in the PCMark 10 test.
Both configurations of Snapdragon X Elite-powered PCs hit over 13,000.
Those same Snapdragon X Elite PCs also did well in Geekbench 6 and several other tests.
