There is only a single part number of the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, which is X2E-96-100, and it sports a total of 18 cores, of which 12 hail from the ‘Prime’ category, while the remaining six are performance cores. Qualcomm’s new SoC is the first ARM-based chip to run at 5.00GHz, though the boost frequency can only be witnessed if one or two cores are active. Even then, notebook manufacturers need to employ some serious cooling to achieve these speeds.
