Qualcomm and some laptop manufacturers predict that Snapdragon X PCs, which power all Copilot PCs at the time of writing, will take half of the Windows PC market within five years. However, the segment seems to be struggling to gain traction, as research says that laptops with the required NPU performance (i.e., devices equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon X, Intel Core Ultra 200V, and AMD Ryzen AI 300 processors) still account for less than 10% of total shipments in the third quarter of 2024.
Furthermore, Dean McCarron, President of Mercury Research, told Tom’s Hardware, "There is a high level of uncertainty in this figure due to how early in the life cycle the products are and the potential for sampling error in the research.”
