Qualcomm has expanded its lineup of laptop chips with the introduction of the Snapdragon X Plus and three Snapdragon X Elite chipsets. The Snapdragon X Plus, although less powerful than the X Elite with only 10 cores, is reported to be 10% faster than Apple's M3 chip in the MacBook Pro. These new chips are part of Qualcomm's strategy to strengthen its presence in the Windows laptop market, particularly focusing on AI capabilities with a built-in Hexagon NPU that delivers 45 TOPS, making it the fastest NPU for laptops. The chips, which benchmarks suggest match the performance of Intel's Core Ultra 9 and AMD's Ryzen 9, are set to launch mid-year and are expected to enhance performance and efficiency for AI-driven applications in Windows laptops. However, Qualcomm faces allegations of cheating on the benchmarks for Snapdragon X Elite and Plus, casting doubts on the performance claims.
