After persistent efforts, Qualcomm successfully penetrated the Windows on ARM sector in 2024. With an expansion of its Snapdragon X lineup into the mid-range market, the company has begun 2025 with sights firmly set on the mainstream. The new Snapdragon X processor aims to challenge competitors in the fiercely competitive entry-level Windows market, targeting both laptops and desktop PCs within a $600 price bracket.
Debuted at CES 2025, the latest Snapdragon X platform was unveiled alongside several AI-related innovations from Qualcomm.

The entry-level Snapdragon X processor showcases marked advancements compared to previous Intel models; however, specific comparisons with the latest Intel Core or AMD Ryzen offerings remain undisclosed.
This new chip maintains similar energy efficiency levels characteristic of its high-performance ARM counterparts despite having lower CPU and GPU performance metrics. The architecture retains an eight-core setup as seen in last year’s IFA releases for higher-tier models but operates at reduced clock speeds without any turbo boost capabilities for single-threaded tasks.

The graphics processing unit (GPU) achieves performance levels consistent with lower-end variations within this family at up to 1.7 TFLOPS. Notably consistent across all devices in this series is a robust artificial intelligence task performance level reaching up to 45 TOPS to qualify for Microsoft’s “Copilot+” branding.
