Qualcomm set the bar for AI PC performance and battery life this generation. Though Apple's M3 processors are still a constant point of reference for other chipmakers, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite (XIE-80-100) is the current benchmark to beat while we wait for the full M4 launch.
Qualcomm likely isn't resting on those laurels though — evidence of the company's next-gen processor is already coming to light. According to WinFuture, Qualcomm's next generation of laptop processors is in testing internally. The rumored Snapdragon X2 Elite, model number "SC8480XP" codename "Glymur," is an update to the Snapdragon X Elite chipsets which hold the model number "SC8380XP" and were codenamed "Hamoa."
