 In certain workloads, Qualcomm's AI-powered chip for Windows laptops will be faster than Apple's Mac CPUs

According to Reuters, Qualcomm unveiled a chip on Tuesday for laptops running Microsoft Windows and said it could do certain tasks better than Apple's Mac processors. Executives from Qualcomm emphasized the expanded features of the next Snapdragon Elite X CPU, which will be available in 2019. 

According to rumors, this chip has been redesigned to improve its performance in artificial intelligence activities including email summarization, text production, and picture rendering.

According to the agency, Qualcomm will also include AI capabilities into its smartphone processors after Alphabet's Google and Meta announced their plans to take use of these developments on Tuesday.

This information was made public in response to a recent Reuters article that said Microsoft had encouraged Qualcomm, Nvidia, and Advanced Micro Devices to create new processors that might support a variety of cutting-edge AI functions in Windows, the most popular PC operating system in the world.

Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, said in a video at the Qualcomm event that these processors will encourage the creation of a new era of "AI PCs" designed for both business and consumer usage.

Nadella underlined that by working together, they will be able to mix experiences that were previously out of reach since a new system design was required.

According to reports, Qualcomm claims that its X Elite processor performs certain functions better than Apple's M2 Max chip and uses less energy than both Apple and Intel PC CPUs. According to Qualcomm Senior Vice President Alex Katouzian, the chip's capacity to efficiently analyze artificial intelligence models with 13 billion parameters stands out as its most important feature. This parameter count is used as a stand-in statistic to gauge the level of complexity of AI systems that produce text or graphics.

Francis Sideco, an analyst at TIRIAS Research, predicts that the demand for laptops with AI capabilities will rise as a result of the advent of AI-powered picture production by businesses like Adobe, encompassing applications from real estate brochures to beer can labels.
