Intel and Qualcomm Race to Power Next Generation of AI Laptops
• Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake laptop CPUs will deliver over 100 TOPS of AI performance, 3x more than current Meteor Lake chips • 45 TOPS will come from a dedicated NPU that meets Microsoft's criteria for an "AI PC" • Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite may be the first chip to power a laptop that qualifies as an AI PC • Lunar Lake and Snapdragon meeting the 45 TOPS mark for AI PCs is likely not a coincidence • Lunar Lake expected late 2024, with Arrow Lake for desktops also coming at the end of 2024
