Qualcomm is making it clear that the Snapdragon X Elite isn’t just a flash in the pan in the world of PCs.
Qualcomm’s Computex 2024 keynote was relatively uneventful. The company just went on a tear with Microsoft introducing Copilot+ PCs, so the hour-long presentation was a victory lap with executives from every major laptop brand. One note stood out, though — Qualcomm’s CEO Cristiano Amon made a commitment to PCs as a platform.
“We’re in this neighborhood to stay,” Amon said. “We’re not going anywhere.” The context here is that Amon announced that Snapdragon X chips will eventually come in all PC form factors. In the presentation, we saw 2-in-1s, laptops, mini PCs, and even desktops. One day we might even see a handheld gaming PC powered by a Snapdragon CPU.
