While the video encoding performance on the X Elite has improved nicely since my original X1E Linux benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series were performing much better still than the X Elite performance. The AMD Zen 4/5 laptops with AVX-512 were performing the best for these video encoding workloads among the laptops tested.
For single-threaded audio encoding, the X Elite was on-par with current generation x86_64 laptops.
