=== [[Central Processing Unit (CPU)|Processor]] ===
The Acer Swift X (2022) can come with the following processors<ref name="specs" />:
*[[Intel Core i5-1240P]] with 12 cores (4 [[Performance Cores|P-cores]] + 8 [[Efficiency cores|E-cores]]) and 16 threads, 12 [[Bytes|MB]] cache and a max frequency of 4.4 [[Clock Speed|Ghz]] for P-cores and 3.3 Ghz for E-cores.
*[[Intel Core i7-1260P]] with 12 cores (4 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and 16 threads, 18 MB cache and max frequency of 4.7 Ghz for P-cores and 3.4 Ghz for E-cores.
 
Acer supplies the processors with a power limit of 25W for sustained performance, which is lower than some competitors. Under combined CPU/GPU load, the power limit can be raised to 50W for short bursts, but this is not sustainable.<ref name="notebookcheck">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Swift-X-14-laptop-review-with-RTX-3050-Underchallenged-i5-1240P.666658.0.html |title=Acer Swift X 14 laptop review with RTX 3050: Underchallenged i5-1240P |publisher=NotebookCheck}}</ref>

Processor

The Acer Swift X (2022) can come with the following processors[1]:

  • Intel Core i5-1240P with 12 cores (4 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and 16 threads, 12 MB cache and a max frequency of 4.4 Ghz for P-cores and 3.3 Ghz for E-cores.
  • Intel Core i7-1260P with 12 cores (4 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and 16 threads, 18 MB cache and max frequency of 4.7 Ghz for P-cores and 3.4 Ghz for E-cores.

Acer supplies the processors with a power limit of 25W for sustained performance, which is lower than some competitors. Under combined CPU/GPU load, the power limit can be raised to 50W for short bursts, but this is not sustainable.[2]

In CPU-only tasks, the i5-1240P performs adequately but is limited by the 25W power cap. The i7-1260P offers better performance but still falls short compared to other laptops with higher power limits.[2]

Benchmarks:
