Just over two months after the launch of the Snapdragon X Elite processors and the 10-core Snapdragon X Plus, Qualcomm has now released further ARM processors for laptops, including the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core variants with slower GPUs. We have tested the cheaper X1P-42-100.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qualcomm-Snapdragon-X-Plus-8-core-analysis-The-X1P-42-100-is-smaller-and-cheaper-but-not-very-efficient.883714.0.html

What efficiency cores? As far as I know the X Elite has 12 identical cores. There are no efficiency cores. Literally can't find anything about this elsewhere on the internet as well. Care to elaborate?
Feel a bit sorry for Qualcomm, they will be forgotten immediately Lunar Lake launches and next year they are up against Mediatek and Nvidia tag-team. Between Strix and Lunar Lake they will have to slash prices even further.
Witcher seems like the worst test? It's not native for both ARM platforms?
I got a Yoga 7 slim with the smallest X elite. Fantastic machine to work with, not much use to game but I don't so who cares...

Yep. Opinions of actual users are usually completely different from opinions of local "experts" running 2020 (at best) hardware.
I got the Lenovo Slim 5x with this processor. It failed to playback 4K videos (200Mbps, .MOV)taken from my camera smoothly. The task manager showed Video Decode was 100% when playing the video.
