Congratulations, Qualcomm Im somehow both very impressed and a little bit confused.
Its undeniably impressive stuff.
Qualcomm has seven different laptop manufacturers partnering up with it for the Snapdragon X Elite launch, so there was a lot to see at the event

Heres the thing, though.
And yet, during the Q&A, Qualcomms senior staff were adamant that gaming isnota focus here.
The market area we are targeting is more about casual gaming, he said.
Qualcomm SVPs Alex Katouzian and Kedar Kondap took to the stage after CEO Cristiano Amon to answer more questions
What were focused on is productivity.
Dont be shocked after all,soundcards bit the dust.
Why should graphics cards last forever too?
My laptop is four years old, and cost more at the time than this Samsung model will. But mine can’t run Baldur’s Gate at all - let alone at 4K resolution.
Katouzian isnt convinced, though.
Qualcomms General Manager of Compute and Gaming, Kedar Kondap, also chimed in here.
Were being very careful about how we position this bang out of PC, Kondap explained.
There are PCs that are consumer-focused, and there are PCs that are aimed at creatives and gamers.
These new AI PCs powered by Snapdragon fall firmly into the former camp, it seems.
