Qualcomm has officially unveiled its Snapdragon X2 Series platform in Malaysia. The new series expands the Snapdragon-powered AI PC lineup with a stronger focus on performance, enhanced gaming support and on-device AI experiences.
The company says the Snapdragon X2 Series continues its push for ultra portable and lightweight Windows laptops that offers class leading efficiency and battery life while also improving support for gaming and demanding workloads.
With the latest Snapdragon X and X2 series, Qualcomm says users can expect real-world all-day usage with long lasting battery life, responsive performance across various scenarios and compact form factors that offer quiet operations and improved thermal performance. In addition, its dedicated NPU capabilities is designed to unlock advanced on-device AI experiences.
Qualcomm Technologies Southeast Asia Head of Sales and Marketing Alicia Lim said the AI PC category has evolved rapidly over the past 18 months, with users now focusing more on real-world usage instead of specs alone.
“Users are increasingly evaluating how a device performs in real-world usage — battery life, portability, responsiveness, AI capabilities, and how seamlessly it fits into the way they work and live. With the Snapdragon X2 Series, we’re continuing to push that experience further by combining efficient performance, advanced AI processing and mobility into a platform designed for the next generation of personal computing,” she added.
Qualcomm says the expectations around PC are evolving as new generation of students and professionals are becoming more mobile, connected and AI-driven in the way they work, study and create. Users are now multitasking across collaboration tools, creative applications, streaming, communication and AI-powered workflows often across different locations without being constantly plugged-in.
Qualcomm also highlighted improved gaming support with the Snapdragon X2 Series, including broader compatibility across modern PC gaming experiences.
The Snapdragon X2 Elite platform was unveiled late last year as its next-generation ARM-based chip for Windows PCs. The range-topping Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme is built on a 3nm process and features up to 18 Oryon CPU cores, making it Qualcomm’s most powerful PC chip so far.
Among the highest upgrades include its Adreno GPU and Hexagon NPU architecture. The new Hexagon NPU can deliver up to 80 TOPS of AI compute, with Qualcomm claiming improvements up to 143% in scalar throughput, 127% in bus bandwidth, 143% in vector throughput and 78% in matrix throughput compared to the previous generation.
Their AI team shared that the platform now supports over 1,000 AI models, over 300 AI-powered user experiences and over 100 optimised applications for on-device AI workloads.
