Companies like Qualcomm are aiming to utilize AI to rejuvenate the PC market and enhance user experience.
The new Snapdragon X Elite chip by Qualcomm is designed to enable a highly personalized and emotionally intelligent computing experience.
The chip facilitates local AI processing, empowering PC-based AI applications and potentially driving significant differentiation in the market.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite boasts Oryon CPU cores, promising high-performance computing comparable to Intel, AMD, and even Apple's processors.
Qualcomm plans to collaborate with top companies like HP and Lenovo to release PCs powered by the Snapdragon X Elite in mid-2024
While emphasizing the importance of AI, Qualcomm's Kondap emphasizes that smartphones and laptops are distinct devices and not likely to merge into a single entity anytime soon.
During its Snapdragon Summit this week in Maui, Hawaii, Qualcomm announced this completely redesigned processor for laptops called X Elite where AI processing runs locally on a device, rather than in the cloud
One of the key aspects of the Snapdragon X Elite is that the platform is designed to boost the power of PC-based artificial intelligence (AI) applications, which could bring in a new type of user experience, something which is lacking on current PCs.
During the demos, Qualcomm showed AI applications like stable diffusion which can generate images based on when you feed a few words and a large language model-based AI assistant tool all running completely on the laptop, without the need for the cloud.
