This past week Qualcomm sent out a set of 17 patches for the MSM DRM kernel graphics driver for enabling support for the Inter Frame Power Collapse (IFPC) feature with the X1-85 GPU found in the current Snapdragon X laptops.

Inter Frame Power Collapse is a Qualcomm Adreno power savings feature that is activated between frames during graphics rendering. IFPC is reported to provide significant power savings to help with battery life and reducing thermal load. With the initial patches sent out this week, Inter Frame Power Collapse is enabled for the X1-85 GPUs found within the current Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus powered laptops.
