The X2P-64-100 is equipped with 10 Oryon CPU cores with a configuration of 6 Prime cores and 4 Performance cores. Single-core performance is 35% higher and multi-core is 17% higher in the Geekbench 6 test compared to the previous generation.
Meanwhile, the X2P-42-100 chip is a version with 6 CPU cores, all of which are Prime. Single-core performance is 35% higher and multi-core is 10% higher in the Geekbench 6 test compared to the previous generation.
Both are matched with the X2-45 Adreno GPU and NPU with 80 TOPS. Both can operate at a maximum speed of 4 GHz. In terms of graphics, the Snapdragon X2 Plus chip offers a performance boost of up to 29%.
