The first computers with the Snapdragon X chip were launched on June 18 (Surface Laptop, Acer Swift 14 AI, HP EliteBook Ultra G1q...), but they are not exactly cheap devices. All of them are in the range above \u20ac1000, which means that they are not intended for every user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is inevitable that cheaper computers with the Snapdragon X series chip will also appear on the market, which is also confirmed by analysts who say that Qualcomm is working on a chip codenamed Canim. They add that it is obviously a set of chips that will be based on TSMC's 4-nm architecture and will be intended for devices in the range between \u20ac600 and \u20ac900, which is a concrete reduction compared to existing computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bad news is that the Canim chip wouldn't be ready until the fourth quarter of 2025, almost a year and a half after yesterday's release of Snapdragon X computers. In consolation, analysts claim that this new processor will offer a similar 40 TOPS of power for AI tasks like Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus (45 TOPS). That means laptops with this low-cost chip will likely receive the Copilot Plus designation and all the accompanying features given the 40 TOPS requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We wonder what Qualcomm will sacrifice in other areas for the lower price. Maybe fewer processor cores, less powerful graphics, older connectivity standards, or something similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don't like waiting, you can wait a few months and maybe the latest computers with the Snapdragon X chip will see some kind of concrete discount.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
