They are for PC
Qualcomm is preparing to rebrand its Snapdragon platforms, although this will not affect mobile platforms yet. The next generation of PC SoC will be called Snapdragon X Series. We will know the details in November.
Qualcomm Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Don McGuire spoke about this in his blog. He also confirmed that these are the same platforms that will receive Oryon processor cores.
The Snapdragon X Series platforms are being prepared for release
McGuire said these cores will make “quantum leaps in performance and power efficiency,” and “combined with the NPU, the new SoC will enable accelerated on-device user experiences in the new era of generative artificial intelligence.”
Let us remind you that Oryon cores are based on the developments of Nuvia, which Qualcomm bought in 2021 for $1.4 billion. The new platforms are expected to disrupt the Windows laptop market in much the same way that Apple disrupted the MacBook market with Apple Silicon.
