Specifically, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon teased that next-generation Snapdragon X series chipsets will be 'truly incredible' and will bring 'excitement back to computing performance'.

That's what they said about the first release of Snapdragon X Elite as well.

Turns out the initial Geekbench 6 benchmarks that showed mind-blowing results were run on custom hardware on Linux (Linux is still badly supported by Snapdragon X Elite devices) with non-representative cooling. To my knowledge, no released products have come close to these results.
