Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 "Ultra Premium" SoC Spotted on Shipping Document

[T0@st]

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 processor family was outed last autumn—online sources revealed an Iceland-themed "Project Glymur" moniker, as well as the "SC8480XP" SKU codename. At the time, leakers suggested that Qualcomm engineers had started testing early samples around July/August—further speculation pointed to "Snapdragon X Elite Gen 2" chipsets being evaluated on desktop platforms.

Yesterday, Everest (aka Olrak29_) discovered another SKU—their social media post included an intriguing screenshot, extracted from a shipping manifest. The image's contents reveals the existence of an "Ultra Premium" model, with part number: X2-000-096. Qualcomm has publicly acknowledged that it is working on successors, for launch in 2025—its third generation of "Oryon" CPU cores are lined up for inclusion in the next-gen AI PC project. Second-gen "Oryon" cores are reserved for smartphone platforms. The leaked "Ultra Premium" chip could sit in a new product tier—possibly positioned above the already established high-end "Elite" range.

No thanks, I'll skip this gen & just wait for the Super-duper, Mega-quadruple overclocked, Titanium Deluxe version, hahahaha

Ultra expensive

The problem is they didn't increase the GPU at all. They used the same GPU from their cellphone in their laptops. Apple doubles their iGPU in their M series processors.

Doesn't looks like the X2 will change anything.

It will be a great CPU for $500 laptops that don't want a decent iGPU, but they want to sell in $1000 laptops.

Again.

Fail.

The only thing I can see helping them is their GPU in the Galaxy S25 is now 60 percent faster than Apple's Pro Max already, but really if they want to sell expensive laptops they need to double the iGPU. Laptops chips need to have more powerful graphics. Nvidia + ARM and Strix Halo are also coming.

"12CH"?
Is that 12 cores or 12 x 16-bit memory channels, bringing 192-bit bus to laptops?
