In 2024, what new tricks can a PC notebook be rolled out?
Qualcomm Snapdragon gives the answer: self-developed to make the strongest CPU, bring the terminal strength experience, the first lock burst, bring down Intel and Apple.
From the point of view of CPU performance, it has indeed surpassed Intel i7 and i9, and also lost the Apple M2 Max in seconds before the release of Apple M3, it can sit firmly in the world strongest terminal CPU.
In addition, Qualcomm Snapdragon upcoming AI PC series basically locked the strongest Windows notebook, and with the performance of gaming, programming, AI, 5G, and WiFi7, it can also shake the wall of Apple Mac.
So if you are interested in changing equipment, you may as well be a wait party.
Wait for this game-changing PC.
Strongest Win system PC?
Qualcomm has made it clear that PCS will cooperate with Microsoft and run Windows.
But also stressed that this will be the most powerful Windows PC.
There are two sides to the argument:
The first is chip performance, CPU is far ahead. Optimized for Gpus. From hardware to software, NPU lays the foundation for productivity, large models, and games.
The second is the product experience, the mobile phone experience rolled out of the sea of blood, the audio and video communication network, and the PC have been decentralized.
01 Chip Performance
The reason why the Snapdragon X Elite is the strongest performance is explained by Qualcomm Snapdragon from these several data.
4nm, 12 cores, up to 3.8GHz - dual core enhancements are also supported to achieve 4.3GHz.
This is also the first ARM architecture CPU core with a main frequency of more than 4GHz, which is self-evident for the improvement of the experience of workloads such as application startup and web browsing.
The Snapdragon X Elite is also working on its memory. Eight-channel LPDDR5x with 42MB total cache and 136 GB/s memory bandwidth.
For heat dissipation concerns, Qualcomm highlighted specifically optimized designs for branch predictors and power management, especially schedulers that can efficiently handle multiple threads across a three-cluster architecture.
In the running points of mainstream PCS, the Snapdragon X Elite takes the high-end 14-core laptop CPU from friends, and under the same power consumption, Snapdragon can provide up to 2 times the CPU performance. It can also achieve peak performance with 65% lower power consumption.
02 Mobile phone experience delegation
In the last 10 years, mobile phones and the mobile Internet have become the center of innovation, and the progress of the PC has actually taken precedence, and the innovation of the experience has been ignored.
As a result, Pad products continue to replace PCS.
But now, Qualcomm provides another idea, with mobile phones and mobile terminals in the Red Sea battle rolled out of the experience, all down to the PC.
For example, Qualcomm house-keeping technology: connection technology.
5G, WiFi6, WiFi7, are already ready on the Snapdragon X Elite.
Then there is video photography.
The core is to redo a set of camera sensors and audio systems for the PC, and bring the ultimate audio-visual experience to the PC every year.
It is worth noting that at this year Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm also released Snapdragon Seamless technology, the core is to open up multi-terminal collaboration and interconnection, such as the interconnection between mobile phones and PCS.
When this system was released, the outside world also speculated that it might be possible to build its own PC ecosystem, or transplant the accumulation of Android.
However, in a further explanation, Qualcomm expressed the deep combination with Windows, and he just brought the mobile phone experience generated in the great waves to the solidified PC.
Qualcomm positioning is also very clear: Snapdragon X Elite to do the best Windows chip.
In addition, Qualcomm also preliminarily demonstrated the capabilities of the Snapdragon X Elite in gaming, from casual games to immersive large-scale games, hoping to bring new experiences.
