Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:QCOM) boasts that its new chips will allow customers to operate their laptops extensively without concerns about battery life.
San Diego-based Qualcomm is supplying the semiconductors for Microsoft Corp’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) latest Copilot+ PCs, which incorporate advanced AI features.
Both companies highlighted the importance of Qualcomm’s hardware in enabling these AI enhancements while maintaining long battery life, reported Bloomberg.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon remarked at the Computex trade show that the collaboration is groundbreaking. He compared it to the significance of Windows 95.
Amon emphasized that Windows laptops powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite systems will boast up to twice the battery life of traditional models and will be over 100 times more power-efficient in running certain AI features.
Qualcomm, along with its industry peers, has been working for more than a decade to reduce the PC sector’s reliance on Intel Corp(NASDAQ:INTC) by introducing key components based on Arm Holdings Plc(NASDAQ:ARM) technology, which is predominant in smartphones.
