Samsung introduces the high-performance chipset-equipped Galaxy Book4 Edge series

Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Book4 Edge series, which will include laptops with 14- and 16-inch displays, called the Galaxy Book4 Edge and Galaxy Book4 Edge Pro. With the Snapdragon X Elite chipset, which has 12 performance cores, these laptops prioritise high performance above conventional ARM chipsets.

The Galaxy Book4 Edge will be available in three different variants, two of which will be powered by the Snapdragon X Elite X1P-80-100, a 12-core processor, and will offer at least 16GB of RAM. The Galaxy Book4 Edge Pro, however, will only come in a 16-inch size and will get a Snapdragon X Elite X1P-84-100 chipset with 16GB of RAM. It is unclear if there will be different RAM options for this model.

The 14-inch model of the Galaxy Book4 Edge series will feature HDMI and a 3.5mm earphone jack, along with two USB-C ports. The larger 16-inch model will also include an extra USB-A port and a microSD card slot. All models in the series are set to have a screen resolution of 3K and a brightness level of 400cd (candela).

This marks a shift from the typical ARM chipsets used in laptops, which generally prioritize energy efficiency and often feature hybrid core architecture. Interestingly, the Galaxy Book4 Edge has already appeared on Geekbench, achieving a score close to Apple's M-series chips.
