Snapdragon DevKit for Windows.

Qualcomm has introduced the Snapdragon Dev Kit for Windows, a compact mini PC designed to simplify the development of next-generation Windows applications and AI experiences, but you can use it for any purpose you like and it makes a perfect, affordable alternative to the Apple Mac Mini.

At the heart of the Snapdragon Dev Kit is a Snapdragon X Elite X1E-00-1DE chipset, which includes a Qualcomm Oryon CPU with 12 cores that can reach speeds up to 3.8 GHz, along with a dual-core boost capability up to 4.3 GHz. The Adreno GPU delivers up to 4.6 TFLOPS and the Hexagon NPU up to 45 TOPS, accelerating AI/ML workloads and allowing for local execution of LLMs and LVMs, reducing the need for cloud resources.
