The Snapdragon X Elite processor was unveiled in 2023, while the Snapdragon X Plus was presented in April. Unlike Intel processors, these are based on Arm architectures. And thanks to the new Oryon core, these components should allow PC manufacturers to develop machines capable of competing with Macs running Apple Silicon, whether in terms of performance or energy efficiency.
Machines that are kept waiting
Unfortunately, this new generation of PC has not yet arrived on the market. However, these will be arriving very soon. Indeed, announcements are planned from certain manufacturers, starting this month of May.
The advantage of Arm processors is that they have better energy efficiency. And if PCs using this technology already exist on the market, the Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon In addition, Qualcomm highlights the exceptional performance of these processors for processing tasks based on artificial intelligence.
In other words, this year the PC market could experience a revolution comparable to the one that Apple started for its Macs in 2020, when the Cupertino company decided to abandon Intel processors in favor of its Apple chips. Silicon based on Arm architectures.
