I ran various benchmarks on the 'ASUS Vivobook S 15 S5507QA' laptop equipped with the 'Snapdragon X Elite'

I was able to borrow

the Copilot+ PC ' ASUS Vivobook S 15 S5507QA (hereinafter referred to as Vivobook S 15)' equipped with the Arm processor ' Snapdragon X Elite ' developed by Qualcomm, so I ran various benchmark software to measure its performance.

The details of the Vivobook S 15 confirmed by CPU-Z and GPU-Z are as follows. The CPU is 'Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite' with 12 cores and 12 threads. The ARM version of CPU-Z is used. The GPU is displayed as 'Qualcomm Adreno GPU X1E78100' in CPU-Z. In addition, GPU-Z gave an error saying 'Device not in data'.

When I checked the storage with '

CrystalDiskInfo ', I found that the Vivobook S 15 was using a Micron MTFDKBA1T0QFM-1BD1AABGB with a capacity of 1TB.

Next, we performed the benchmark with the device plugged in. Note that we used the ARM-compatible version of various benchmark apps unless otherwise noted. The transfer speed of the Vivobook S 15's SSD measured with '

CrystalDiskMark ' is as follows: sequential read was 5040.40MB/s, sequential write was 3599.25MB/s, random read was 367.49MB/s, and random write was 465.20MB/s.

Next, we ran CrystalMark Retro , which measures the performance of the CPU and 2D and 3D graphics. The Vivobook S 15's overall score was 4590, with a CPU single-core score of 7547 and a multi-core score of 85280.

The Geekbench 6 benchmark results for the Vivobook S 15's CPU showed a single-core score of 2455 and a multi-core score of 14779.

The single-core score details look like this.

The multi-core score details look like this.

Next, we measured the GPU performance with Geekbench 6. First,

the OpenCL score was '20543'.

The details are as follows.

Vulkan 's score was '24353'.

Next, we measured using Blender's

official benchmark tool . This tool shows how fast the path tracing sample can be rendered on the CPU or GPU. The version 4.1.0 used here could not run the benchmark properly, so we modified the included Python script and ran it. Also, only the CPU was measured. The results were '75.152870' for monster, '43.897969' for junkshop, and '26.058252' for classroom.

Next we will run

the Passmark PerformanceTest V11 . Passmark PerformanceTest V11 is available in x86 and ARM versions, and we will test both this time. First, the x86 version. The Vivobook S 15's overall score is 4145, which is 45% of the benchmarks tried by users around the world. This means that it is below the median.

The CPU score was '18074' and the percentile was '62%'.

The 2D score was '404' or '34%'.

The 3D score was '2808' or '30%'.

The memory score was '2859' or '57%'.

The disk score was '28527' or '84%'.

Next, we pulled out the logs of benchmark results previously run by the GIGAZINE editorial department and used them as a baseline to compare the Vivobook S 15 with the

ASUS NUC 14 Pro + , Dell XPS 13/14 , and OMEN Transcend 14. First, the overall scores are as follows, with the Vivobook S 15 slightly below the XPS 13.

Next, the CPU score: this time the Vivobook S 15 outperforms the XPS 13.

3D score.

The Vivobook S 15 has the highest memory score.

Finally, the disc score.

Next, we will test the ARM version. The overall score was 3824, and the percentile was 42%.

The CPU score was 25245 and the percentile was 79%. The x86 version had scores of 18074 and 62%, so these are good numbers to look forward to when using ARM software.

The 2D score was 452, or 37%.

The 3D score was '2162' or '25%'.

The memory score was 4230, an astonishing 99%.

The disk score was '28482' or '84%'.

Next, we will list the results of measuring the Vivobook S 15 with the ARM version (orange) and the x86 version, as well as the results of measuring other PCs with the x86 version. First, the overall score.

Next, we ran the '

FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION Benchmark '. Note that this software is not ARM native. This allows you to get a sense of the comfort of gameplay to some extent. The results of running the benchmark on the Vivobook S 15 with maximum load 'Image quality: High quality', 'Resolution: 3840 x 2160', and 'Window: Full screen' are as follows. The score was '798' and the rating was 'Difficult to operate'.

When measured at 'light quality', '1920 x 1080', and 'full screen', the result is '3178', 'normal'.

When measured at 'standard quality,' '1920 x 1080,' and 'full screen,' the result was '2507,' which is 'slightly heavy.'

Measured using the '

Final Fantasy XIV: Golden Legacy Benchmark '. Also not native to ARM. The results were 'High Quality', '1920x1080', 'Full Screen', with a score of '6094' and a rating of 'Somewhat Comfortable'.

If you change the settings to 'Standard Quality', it becomes 'somewhat comfortable' at '6701'. When actually playing games at full HD, it seems better to set it to 'Standard to Light Quality'.

We plan to review the 'Recall' feature as soon as it is released by Microsoft.
