These new processors will be competing directly with the latest offerings from AMD and Intel. Specifically, the Snapdragon X series is set to challenge Intel’s Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) and AMD’s Ryzen 9050 series, known as Strix Point. In terms of energy efficiency and performance, Qualcomm claims that its Snapdragon X series processors are 51% faster at ISO power and consume 65% less power compared to Intel’s Core Ultra 9 185H. These figures have not been independently verified on non-reference platforms yet.
Upcoming laptops, including the newly leaked Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14 Snapdragon edition, are expected to feature these new processors, highlighting Qualcomm’s ongoing influence and innovation in the PC processor market.
