According to Zhituo Finance APP, Qualcomm (QCOM.US) has launched a new type of chip aimed at powering personal computers (PCs) capable of running the latest AI Software, with the expected price of PCs equipped with the new chip starting at $600.

At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025), known as the "Spring Festival Gala of Technology," Qualcomm announced that the Snapdragon X platform consists of an 8-core Oryon processor, graphics components, and dedicated AI Chip, which will run Microsoft (MSFT.US) Copilot+ Software. Qualcomm also stated that personal computer manufacturers like Dell (DELL.US) will launch laptops based on this new product in early 2025.

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon has been pushing Qualcomm to enter the personal computer market to reduce dependence on the smartphone chip market. For a long time, Qualcomm has dominated the high-end smartphone market.

Qualcomm has won broad support from personal computer manufacturers and Microsoft, and devices released last year have received positive reviews. However, so far, Qualcomm has not made a significant impact on the market shares of personal computer chip giants Intel and AMD.

In addition to the new laptops, Qualcomm's customers will also offer new mini desktop computers based on the Snapdragon X. Qualcomm is also providing a range of more powerful and more expensive components - Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus.

A key element promoted by Qualcomm is that devices using its chips can extend Battery life. The company stated that its chips have always been designed for devices powered by small batteries, making them more efficient than components offered by established competitors.

Earlier on Monday, Intel announced a new chip that allegedly extends Battery life. Qualcomm disagreed, stating that its chip can maintain full power running even when the laptop is unplugged, while machines running competitor processors must slow down.
