Leading mini PC manufacturer Geekom is developing a desktop PC powered by a Snapdragon X Elite chip, new reports claim.
Reports from El Chapuzas Informatico suggest that the rumored QS1 Pro will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 SoC, as well as an Adreno GPU capable of up to 4.6 teraflops.
Similarly, the QS1 Pro will also feature up to 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 storage and offer users up to 64GB of LPDRR5-5600 memory.
First Snapdragon X Elite mini PC?
If speculations about the QS1 Pro launch come to fruition, it would be the first Snapdragon X Elite mini PC available in the market.
However, there are some inconsistencies with the initial leaks, according to Tom’s Hardwarewhich noted that details about the CPU, namely the Snapdragon X1E-80-100, do not match the 4.6 teraflop output capabilities of the Adreno GPU.
Qualcomm spec materials show that the GPU can only reach a maximum of 3.8 teraflops, for example. This could be a typo, El Chapuzas Informatico speculated.
Geekom QS1 Pro: Additional details and launch timeline
Aside from the rumored performance stats, there are other details about the QS1 Pro available online, especially regarding its design.
Leaked promotional images show that the mini PC has a slim chassis, which features a power button, a 3.5mm combo jack and two USB-A ports. Leaks also suggest that the QS1 Pro will offer high-end wireless connectivity options as it is Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 capable.
So far, there are no concrete details on a possible launch timeline for the QS1 Pro and pricing has also yet to be determined.
Before this, the most affordable Snapdragon X PC was the Qualcomm development kit. This was initially touted for a June 2024 launch, but Qualcomm revealed in October 2024 that it was planning to scrap the highly anticipated device.
In a statement at the time, the company said the device “did not meet our usual standards of excellence.”
