Qualcomm is once again turning up the pressure on traditional laptop processors. At CES 2026, the company introduced the Snapdragon X2 Plus lineup, aimed squarely at thin-and-light Windows laptops.
The new chips sit below the previously announced Snapdragon X2 Elite and X2 Elite Extreme, which debuted in September 2025. This time, Qualcomm is targeting more mainstream designs while keeping most of the core tech intact.
Two variants have been announced. There’s a 6-core Snapdragon X2 Plus X2P-42-100 and a higher-end 10-core X2P-64-100. Both use Qualcomm’s third-generation Oryon CPU architecture and pair it with an Adreno X2-45 integrated GPU.
The 10-core model combines six Prime cores with four Performance cores, while the 6-core version relies entirely on Prime cores.
