Leaked Dell docs suggest Qualcomm's new laptop chips could deliver nearly twice the battery life of the latest Intel CPUs

A leaked internal presentation by Dell on its forthcoming laptop models continues to give up interesting nuggets, this time a slide notes that Qualcomm's Snapdragon X processors are cheaper and less energy-hungry than all of Intel's recent chips, including Meteor Lake. So much so, that in some cases, battery life in equivalent laptops is extended by as much as 98%. And all that's done with chips that are half the price.

The Dell presentation in question also noted the split line between Intel and Qualcomm for its upcoming laptops, and was discovered by Videocardz just a few days ago. At over 300 pages in length, there was bound to be lots of juicy information. The first thing of note was Dell's plans to rapidly update its laptop models each year, with Intel's forthcoming range of architectures, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
