You will still be able to play games, but you shouldn’t count on much. Snapdragon X Elite “pulls” Control at minimum settings

Produces about 40 fps

Qualcomm has already announced that Snapdragon X Elite platforms will run all or almost all Windows games. The issue of performance still remains open, but Tom's Hardware journalist managed to play Control on a test laptop at the company's presentation. 

At what resolution the game was running is unclear, but it is likely Full HD. Graphics settings were set to low. As a result, in non-combat scenes the author received about 40 fps with drops of up to 30 fps. Even though Control came out five years ago, it remains quite demanding at high resolutions.

As for Full HD, here you can remember the iGPU Radeon 780M, which in Full HD at medium-low settings produces about 50 fps. That is, apparently, the AMD graphics core is noticeably faster than the new Qualcomm product, but it’s still worth waiting for full tests and direct comparison.

In any case, we can say that the Snapdragon X Elite SoC should often be suitable for modern games at least with minimal settings, but you definitely shouldn’t expect high performance from it.
