Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Adreno GPU vs Qualcomm Adreno 680

Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Adreno GPU

Integrated Adreno graphics card in the Snapdragon X Elite. Supports DirectX 12 FL 11.1 and offers raw performance on par with the Apple M2 GPU. Qualcomm itself advertises the graphics unit with 4.6 teraflops raw performance and 2x performance compared to the predecessor.

Still based on an older GPU apparently, as the Adreno does not support ray tracing compared to smartphone GPUs (e.g. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Gen 3).

Qualcomm Adreno 680

The Qualcomm Adreno 680 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx SoC for Windows laptops. According to Qualcomm it is 2x faster than the previous Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 850 for Windows PCs with a 60% improved efficiency (thanks to the 7nm process). The performance should be similar to a Intel UHD Graphics 620 (e.g. in a 8th gen Core i5) when running native ARM64 compiled Windows apps and games. Running emulated 32 bit games (64 bit games compiled for AMD/Intel are not supported), the performance is notably slower.
