Qualcomm released its Snapdragon X Plus chip in mid-2024 alongside the more powerful Snapdragon X Elite processor. Like the X Elite, the Snapdragon X Plus chips feature the company’s custom-integrated Qualcomm Oryon CPU — which promises faster CPU performance than competing processors while consuming less power.
The inaugural Snapdragon X Plus chip packs a 10-core Qualcomm Oryon CPU and a 45 TOPS NPU, which Qualcomm says is the faster NPU for laptops. Because of that, the company claims the X Plus will feature “industry-leading on-device AI capabilities.”
