- Qualcomm will soon launch a Snapdragon processor aimed at less expensive Windows PCs, according to a major leak.
- The new chipset is apparently a Snapdragon X Plus chip with an eight-core CPU and a less impressive GPU.
- Computers with this chip are expected to be a little cheaper than current Snapdragon PCs.
PC makers finally launched computers powered by Snapdragon X chips back in June, promising a long-overdue performance and battery boost for Windows on Arm PCs. Virtually all of these computers cost $900 or more, but it sounds like Qualcomm has a cheaper chip up its sleeve.
Veteran leaker Evan Blass has posted details about a cheaper Snapdragon X Plus chipset that will apparently be announced at IFA next week. The new chip is said to be an octa-core processor compared to the current Snapdragon X Plus and its 10-core CPU.
