Snapdragon X CPUs for Affordable PCs Set to Launch in India on February 24

Snapdragon India on Wednesday introduced that it’ll quickly launch new Snapdragon X CPUs in India. First unveiled on the Client Electronics Present (CES) 2025 final month, the chipsets intention to compete with reasonably priced choices from different firms corresponding to Intel and AMD. Much like their world counterparts, the Snapdragon X CPUs are more likely to provide assist for artificial intelligence (AI) options, leveraging a devoted neural processing unit (NPU). The corporate expects its new platform to energy laptops priced beneath $600 (roughly Rs. 51,400) globally, and an identical technique may be adopted for the Indian markets.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X CPUs India Launch Date, Specs (Anticipated)

In a post on X (previously Twitter), Snapdragon India introduced that it’ll launch the Snapdragon X platform within the nation on February 24. Whereas the chipmaker is but to disclose any specifics, the occasion has been labelled “AI PCs for Everybody”, which means that the brand new processors could possibly be focused in the direction of providing AI efficiency at an reasonably priced price ticket.

This platform is scalable throughout a variety of thermal designs and type components, as per the corporate.

Much like their world counterparts, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X CPUs are anticipated to be constructed on a 4 nanometre fabrication course of, that includes eight Oryon CPU cores with a peak clock velocity of as much as 3GHz. That is inferior to the Snapdragon X Plus and Elite variants which have as much as 3.4GHz and as much as 3.8GHz clock speeds, respectively. In the meantime, the Qualcomm Adreno GPU presents assist for as much as three exterior shows at 4K/ 60Hz.

The chip helps as much as 64GB of LPDDR5x RAM with a 30MB complete cache and a 135GB/s reminiscence bandwidth. The corporate has geared up it with a Hexagon NPU which is able to delivering 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI efficiency. Units powered by the Snapdragon X chips will probably be formally licensed as Microsoft Copilot+ PCs.

The corporate claims that its new chipsets provide as much as two occasions longer battery life and as much as 163 % quicker efficiency than different competing processors. Moreover, this platform helps 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4, USB 4 Sort-C connectivity.
