Qualcomm Technologies Inc. President and CEO Cristiano Amon took the stage at Computex 2024, joined by leaders from the global PC ecosystem, to celebrate and reveal what consumers and enterprises can expect across productivity, creativity, and entertainment from a new category of PCs—the Copilot+ PCs that today are only powered by Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus Platforms.

“The PC is reborn. Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon X Elite are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built with AI integrated throughout the system and can deliver multi-day battery life. I am grateful to the partners that joined me on stage today to celebrate this industry shift that puts Snapdragon powered Windows Copilot+ PCs at the forefront of technology innovation. Together, we are redefining the personal computing experience, and enabling developers to efficiently create apps for this new generation,” said Amon.

Built from the ground up, Amon highlighted the NPU in the Snapdragon X Series, as a key differentiator and reason why performance of PCs powered by Snapdragon X Series is superior and makes Copilot+ experiences possible. Offloading AI workloads from the CPU and GPU to the NPU significantly boosts performance and delivers massive power savings.

With this in mind, Amon stated that Qualcomm Technologies is restoring performance leadership to the Windows PC ecosystem with its leading NPU, which delivers the highest NPU performance per watt for laptops, up to 2.6X vs. M3 and up to 5.4X vs. Core Ultra 7. With Qualcomm’s Oryon CPU, Snapdragon X Elite is the new performance leader for Windows with up to 51% faster CPU performance at ISO power and matches competitor peak PC CPU performance at 65% less power.

Amon also went beyond the hardware to point out Qualcomm Technologies’ industry-leading development tools for the creation of next-generation AI apps. The Qualcomm AI Hub allows developers to deploy a model in 5 minutes on devices powered by Snapdragon platforms, whether their own or from Qualcomm Technologies’ growing collection of pre-optimized, ready-to-use AI models. The new Snapdragon Dev Kit for Windows provides the ideal hardware platform for these developers, with an accelerated Snapdragon X Elite chipset and a popular, stackable form factor.
