Qualcomm today announced the Snapdragon X Series, a new family of chipsets that will power future PCs. Qualcomm already has the Snapdragon 8cx compute platform for PCs. But with the upcoming Snapdragon X Series, Qualcomm is taking it to the next level to directly compete with the popular Apple M-series chipsets. The Snapdragon X Series will deliver industry leading performance per watt, multiple days of battery life on a single charge, dedicated NPU for AI processing and 5G connectivity.
The core of Snapdragon X Series is Qualcomm’s next-generation custom Oryon CPU that delivers a leap forward in performance and power efficiency.
Here’s why Qualcomm is introducing new branding:
- The X identifier distinguishes our PC platforms from other Snapdragon product categories.
- The premium design celebrates this monumental leap forward in computing, and the user experiences it will enable.
- A clear, simplified tiering structure helps users navigate our platform capabilities from mainstream to premium.
- All while leveraging the global brand equity of Snapdragon.
Qualcomm reveal more about Snapdragon X series at Snapdragon Summit later this month.
