Qualcomm is quietly arming the Snapdragon X2 Elite for gaming laptop glory and the numbers point to a faster invasion than we thought

Qualcomm has updated its Snapdragon Control Panel software in the last week, hinting further at its plans for a PC gaming sidestep made possible by the Snapdraon X2 Elite chip. While the incremental updates are small, a shuffling around of some UI here and a direct door to NPU driver updates there signal some quiet preparations as prices of the best gaming laptops soar over the heads of rising component costs.

As spotted by Windows Central, the brand released its full patch notes to Reddit a few days ago, outlining its redesigned game library, offering a more intuitive experience while making adding and removing favorites easier. The brand also updated its One-Click Game Optimization tool for improved reliability, and gave its Hexagon NPU driver updates a backdoor to the Control Panel as well.
