Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. has announced the Snapdragon X Platform, the 4th platform to join the Snapdragon X Series compute portfolio, designed to deliver performance, multi-day battery life, and Copilot+ PC experiences for even more users globally.
Using the power of an 8-core Qualcomm Oryon CPU, Snapdragon X delivers essential performance to the next generation of PCs. The Snapdragon X processor balances performance and built-in intelligence with a 45 TOPS NPU that runs Copilot+ PC tasks more efficiently. With an integrated power-efficient GPU, Snapdragon X supports dynamic graphics that are ideal for creating presentations, web browsing or streaming content.
Snapdragon X is an ideal solution for students, freelance workers, and budget-conscious consumers who need a reliable and powerful laptop to keep up with their busy lives. Devices powered by Snapdragon X are expected to be available from leading OEMs, including Acer, Asus, Dell Technologies, HP and Lenovo, in early 2025, enabling Copilot+ PCs in the $600 range.
Snapdragon is also redefining compact computing with the world’s first mini desktop PC powered by the Snapdragon X Series platform. This new form factor ensures there is a design for every consumer, developer and business need for those who prefer a portable device.
Windows 11 on Snapdragon continues to grow with more than 50 NPU-powered AI experiences native on the Snapdragon platform. Native apps now include 20 of the most popular VPNs, 50 of the most popular security and cloud storage apps and new music Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) and Virtual Studio Technology (VST) Instruments.
Native app development has increased threefold over the past year, with companies like Music AI launching the Moises Live app exclusively for Snapdragon and its NPU.
“The Snapdragon X Series portfolio offers the most powerful, intelligent, and power-efficient processors for Windows in their class, making Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon the ultimate choice for users who want a laptop that can do it all,” said Alex Katouzian, group general manager, mobile, compute, and XR (MCX), Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Our ecosystem of partners continues to build on Snapdragon to deliver innovative form factors and premium AI experiences that enable everyday PC users who want a laptop that can keep up with their busy lives.”
“The introduction of Snapdragon X further reinforces a new wave of PC innovation and enables the latest technologies to be brought to a broader range of Copilot+ PCs,” said Pavan Davuluri, corporate vice president, windows + devices, Microsoft. “With Snapdragon X, customers will continue to experience leading performance and battery life, access more innovative AI experiences, and will have more form factors to choose from when deciding what Copilot+ PC best fits their needs.”
