We previously reported that Samsung is working on a new laptop that belongs to the Galaxy Book 4 series. Unlike the existing models under the Galaxy Book series (that are powered by Intel chips), the new Galaxy Book 4 Edge is going to use the Windows on Arm platform and will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chip. Qualcomm has informed that their new Arm-based chips could launch somewhere around “mid-2024” and it could also be this month.

Now the latest news is that Samsung is also planning to unveil the Galaxy Book 4 Edge (which will be powered by the new chip) this month. According to sources at Sammobile, the company wants to reveal the Galaxy Book 4 Edge before the end of May. It appears that Samsung wants to offer the new Arm-based machine as soon as the new chips become available.

The Galaxy Book 4 Edge naming and its use of an Arm-based chip has previously been confirmed by a GeekBench listing surfaced earlier this month. We also know that the new laptop will offer a 14″ display, 16GB RAM, and 512GB storage and will cost around €1,800.

Both benchmarks shown off by Qualcomm and GeekBench listings of devices with the chip indicate impressive performance and power efficiency. It could mean a significant improvement in battery life. However, it’s important to mention that there is no commercially available device with the new chip yet, and it’s not clear how the tests were performed. A difference in the power management or the cooling solution can definitely influence the numbers. So, take them with a pinch of salt until the retail units are out.

For those unaware, the Snapdragon X Elite equips 12 uniform Qualcomm Oryon CPUs, two of which run at 4.3GHz and the rest run at 3.8GHz. For graphics, it equips a Qualcomm Adreno GPU that goes up to 4.6 TFLOPS (Tera Floating Point Operations Per Second). For specific AI-based applications, the chip boasts 45TOPS Qualcomm Hexagon NPU.
