Qualcomm's New Snapdragon X Chips Aim to Rival Apple Silicon in Upcoming Windows Laptops

Qualcomm is working on new Snapdragon X chips for Windows laptops that could rival Apple's M-series processors in MacBooks.

Snapdragon X branding departs from previous 8CX/7C naming. Qualcomm claims the new chips will revolutionize PC experiences.

Snapdragon X chips feature Nuvia CPU cores and may offer performance similar to Apple M-series chips.

Qualcomm could unveil Snapdragon X series later this month at Snapdragon Summit 2023. Laptops with the new chips may launch early next year.

Nuvia is a semiconductor startup Qualcomm acquired. Its chips designed by ex-AMD, Apple, Broadcom engineers are expected to bring MacBook-like performance to Windows laptops.
