Qualcomm is working on the next-generation Snapdragon 8cx chipset, with an aim to take on the likes of Apple Silicon M1 chip.
The "Snapdragon 8cx" is seen on the Surface Pro X and a few other high-end Windows 10 on ARM PCs.
Qualcomm has also included an X55 modem which means that the next-generation of 8cx will come with a 5G integrated modem.
Qualcomm's chipsets for Windows have not matched up against Intel, AMD, or even Apple. With the next-generation Snapdragon 8cx chip, the company is expecting to make it more powerful, reports XDADevelopers.
The Snapdragon SC8280XP, one of the two variants being tested, reportedly has four absolute high-end cores called "Gold +" running at 2.7GHz. These cores are paired with four more high-end cores, which are referred to as "Gold" cores clocked at 2.43Ghz.
The chipset is also said to include an integrated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) to handle AI-based tasks with up to 15 TOPs of performance. These chips are being tested on laptops with 14-inch designs and 32GB of RAM.
The chipset is expected to bring a significant uptick to Windows 2-in-1s and Windows PCs performance, according to reports.
