They need to drop ‘X’ and ‘Gen’ from the naming and come out with a simplified naming scheme.
If everything is a Snapdragon, that loses it’s meaning also; you’d think that their laptop-class chips would have a different lineup name from the smartphone chips, but everything is a “Snapdragon” and “Elite” (now overused like the word “Pro”). I’m not an “elite”, I’m a peon. 😁

The “x” is for laptops
The “8” is for cellphones (or consoles based on that chip)

@@JSM-t7vI dont think a letter differentiation is as clear as changing the name from Snapdragon to something else would be. Especially since Apple confused the whole ‘X’ vs ’10’ thing (Roman numerals), though Qualcomm probably meant to imply both/either usage. And much like Windows, there’s no ‘9’ in the lineup.
It just seems like an oddly dated way of doing things for a company that wants to signal how advanced its chips are. Qualcomm shouldn’t want Snapdragon to be their “Intel Core” forever.
