| Qualcomm Intros Snapdragon 8cx 7nm Chipset for Windows |
Engineered for Windows devices, the Snapdragon 8cx is armed with the new Kryo 495 octa-core CPU complemented with Adreno 680 graphics. This allows the 8cx to power up thin and light laptops. Qualcomm also claimed that it increases performance by only using a fraction of the power required by its rivals. It also promised to deliver a better and longer battery life.
The Snapdragon 8cx uses X24 LTE modem, the same modem found in the Snapdragon 855, which means that the latter could also support 5G connectivity.
