The company has officially confirmed the launch date by highlighting some of the key aspects of the upcoming CPU. The chipsets aim power affordable laptops and compete with Intel and AMD. The upcoming Snapdragon X CPUs are likely to offer support for artificial intelligence (AI) features, and a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) similar to its global counter parts. From official launch date to expected price and features, check all details about the soon-to-be-launched CPUs here.
Qualcomm Snapdragon X CPUs India Launch Date Announced
Snapdragon India announced in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the Snapdragon X platform will be introduced in the country on February 24. Although the chipmaker has not yet disclosed any details, the event's title, "AI PCs for Everyone," raises the possibility that the new processors will be aimed at providing AI capabilities at a cost-effective price. According to the company, this platform is scalable across a broad range of thermal designs and form factors.
Qualcomm Snapdragon X CPUs Expected Specifications
Like their international counterparts, Qualcomm's Snapdragon X CPUs are anticipated to have eight Oryon CPU cores with a maximum clock speed of 3GHz and be constructed using a 4 nanometer fabrication process. The Snapdragon X Plus and Elite versions, which have clock speeds of up to 3.4GHz and 3.8GHz, respectively, are faster than this. Up to three external displays can be supported by the Qualcomm Adreno GPU at 4K/60Hz.
With a memory bandwidth of 135GB/s and a total cache of 30MB, the chip can accommodate up to 64GB of LPDDR5x RAM. It has a Hexagon NPU installed by the company, which can perform 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI. Notably, devices using Snapdragon X chips will be certified as Microsoft Copilot+ PCs.
According to the company, its new chipsets can outperform rival processors by up to 163 percent and provide up to two times longer battery life. This platform also supports USB 4 Type-C, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, and 5G connectivity.
