Snapdragon X Plus 8-core platform gains traction with 58 laptop designs ... but will Windows users care?
Qualcomm is flexing its Arm muscle in the x86 market, highlighting the push into the Windows laptop market during its Q4 2024 earnings call.the chipmaker had racked up 58 design wins for the Snapdragon X Plus eight-core platform, a leap nearly tripling the 20 designs it had back in May. On paper, that sounds like a big win for Arm-based PCs.
Qualcomm's leap from 20 to 58 designs in just six months is a solid sign of growing OEM interest, and it's the kind of uptick the Arm proponents have been hoping for, suggesting that major players are at least willing to give the Snapdragon X powered laptops a shot. For Qualcomm, the real challenge isn't just winning over OEMs, but whether it manages to translate these designs into devices that consumers actually buy.
So, is this rate of adoption really a breakthrough for Arm? Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus platform is certainly one that's more polished than its previous efforts, packing AI capabilities, 5G, and promises of improved battery life that traditional x86 laptops can't easily match. But technical promise and market readiness aren't always the same thing.
