Qualcomm's play in the laptops market just got an upgrade thanks to all-new Snapdragon X2 Elite and X2 Elite Extreme, expected to feature in some future Windows laptops.
These new chips promise to deliver "legendary" power – up to 5GHz, so far more than previous X Elite offering – while ensuring "multi-day battery life". Upgraded AI and graphics also feature as part of the platform.
The best laptops have undergone a fascinating transformation in recent years, with Qualcomm's once questionable impact in the market – largely due to compatibility issues with apps – then revolutionised by its X Elite product.
