The Snapdragon X Plus chipsets have grown to a total of four variants since their launch in April, starting with the initial 'X1P-64-100' model. At this point, the Snapdragon X Plus lineup is equal in size to the Snapdragon X Elite SKUs, at least for now. Currently, Qualcomm provides the following Snapdragon X Plus variants to its partners:
New Variants in Development
In recent months, there have been claims that Qualcomm has been working on at least two additional variants that are positioned below the X1P-42-100 model. Reports suggest the existence of the X1P-39-100 and X1P-40-100 variants, but there has been no recent information confirming these chipsets.
Upcoming X1P-24-100 Variant
Recently, Roland Quandt revealed a new variant that seems to be more advanced than all current Snapdragon X Plus models. According to Quandt, there is evidence of the X1P-24-100, which has not been mentioned in prior discussions. He refers to unspecified 'databases' that indicate the X1P-24-100 will feature eight CPU cores, similar to the other Snapdragon X Plus chipsets.
Considering the existing Snapdragon X Plus variants, it is reasonable to expect Qualcomm to differentiate the X1P-24-100 in four key aspects. However, its NPU performance, which must reach 45 TOPS to achieve 'Copilot Plus' status, is unlikely to be improved. It is anticipated that the X1P-24-100 will have a smaller CPU cache compared to the X1P-42-100 and X1P-46-100 models, along with a downclocked CPU. Additionally, it seems probable that the X1P-24-100 will feature a less powerful GPU in line with the trends seen in the Snapdragon X Plus series.
