Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon X2 Elite and Extreme chips for Windows PCs, claiming they are the fastest and most efficient for the platform, with significant performance boosts, power savings, and multi-day battery life potential, targeting both lightweight and larger laptops, with availability expected in the first half of 2026.
The latest wave of Arm-based Windows PCs is different from previous attempts, as it has garnered widespread support from major PC manufacturers like Lenovo, Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, and Samsung. Unlike earlier efforts with Windows RT and Windows 10-on-Arm, which had limited backing, this new push features a variety of systems from multiple OEMs, suggesting increased enthusiasm for Arm chips, particularly Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series. This shift could signal a broader acceptance of Arm in the Windows ecosystem, driven partly by the AI capabilities of the new Copilot+ PCs.
