Qualcomm is gearing up for a major announcement on September 4, led by CEO Cristiano Amon, where the spotlight will be on the company’s latest innovation in laptop processors. The tech giant is poised to introduce the Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100, a significant leap in their Snapdragon X series.
The upcoming processor, which marks the second entry in the Plus family, is set to make waves as Qualcomm’s first eight-core chip built on the Oryon architecture. This next-gen chip promises to bring enhanced performance to the laptop market, with a price point expected to start around $700 for Snapdragon-powered devices.
However, early leaks suggest that the Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 might not set new records in integrated graphics performance. The GPU will deliver 1.7 teraflops of power, a notable step down from the 4.6 teraflops offered by the current Snapdragon X Elite models. Despite this, the new chip is expected to support up to three external 4K displays at 60 Hz, alongside an AI unit (NPU) with a robust performance rating of 45 TOPS.
While Qualcomm has yet to confirm if the Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 will be the star of the September 4 event, it’s clear that the conference will highlight advancements in the Snapdragon X lineup. Tech enthusiasts and industry watchers can tune in live to catch the latest updates and innovations from Qualcomm.
