Benchmark maker comments on the scarcity of Qualcomm Copilot+ PC tests in the wild — only 56 Windows-on-Arm devices benchmarked in the last 30 days

Red reference laptops with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite.

PassMark Software seems unimpressed by the number of Copilot+ PC tests that it has seen in the wild since the new platform launched. In a Twitter/X post, the long-established benchmarking company shared that over the last 30 days, it has seen 22,000 Windows x86 machines put through its CPU test suite, yet only 56 Windows-on-Arm machines have been benchmarked. Thus, only 0.3% of recently tested machines were powered by Snapdragon X CPUs.

According to the data gathered by PassMark, “there’s a long road ahead” for Copilot+ PCs and Qualcomm due to the deficient representation of these Arm architecture PCs being tested by end users. The Australian software firm highlighted the disparity between the observed 0.3% user base and the Qualcomm CEO’s boldly stated target of capturing 50% of the Windows PC market within five years.
