    Tangentially OT:

    “Snapdragon X Elite”? Wasn’t the name “Snapdragon” already enough cringe? :)

      Snapdragon is a type of flower. It’s a lovely name in my opinion.

        Didn’t know about the flower!

        Qualcomm didn’t actually choose the name because of it (they choose it because it “sounded fast and fierce”), but now that I know about the flower I’ll think of it instead of snappy dragons whenever I hear the SOC name.

      I’m already confused about their product naming, and they haven’t even launched any of these processors yet.
