Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processors recently launched inside a range of ARM64-based laptops, and the highly praised ASUS Zenbook A16 stands out as an example of what the Windows on ARM platform offers in terms of power efficiency. Despite the excitement and praise around the MacBook-rivaling Zenbook and its high-end SoC, PC gaming on Snapdragon X still takes a back seat.
It's not that Qualcomm keeps any of its Snapdragon X gaming capabilities a secret. On the contrary, it listed "over 2,400 games available" in pre-release marketing for the X2 Elite chip, but its primary effort remained in appealing to productivity-centric workers. That strategy may have shifted slightly, as a recent collaboration with China-based NetEase games suggests.
