Sourcing and disambiguation notes

Representative machine: Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 / Surface Pro 11. LPDDR5X-8448, 135 GB/s shared between CPU/GPU/NPU per Qualcomm's own product brief. NPU TOPS figures are marketing, not decode speed - not recorded here. 2026-04 update: Microsoft's own Surface store has moved on to Snapdragon X2 Elite/X2 Plus as of mid-2026; $1,049.99 (Best Buy) was the lowest documented new-retail clearance price found for a Surface Laptop 7 14-inch (X Elite), superseding the figure previously recorded. Launch MSRP for this config was $1,999; units have also been seen as low as $699.99 in deeper clearance sales -- this represents finite/wasting clearance stock, not a standing MSRP.

Measurements

Decode is token generation — the speed you feel while an answer streams. Prefill is prompt processing — the wait before it starts. Why bandwidth predicts decode speed.

What it can run

Fit is arithmetic, not a measurement — how it is computed. Against 32 GB; models that fit are listed largest first.
