Qualcomm to Take on Apple Silicon Chips With Snapdragon X Series for PCs
1 min read
Snapdragon X chips will use the Qualcomm Oryon CPU, which is built on the chip technology that it got when it purchased Nuvia. Founded by ex-Apple chip designers, Nuvia designed custom Arm-based chips that are expected to bring Apple silicon-like performance to PCs with improved power and efficiency.
In addition to improved efficiency, Qualcomm’s upcoming PC chips include on-device AI processing and 5G connectivity.
As noted by The Verge, Arm has sued Qualcomm and Nuvia for violating the licensing agreements for Arm processor designs and architecture. Arm claims that licenses provided to Nuvia are not valid now that the company has been sold to Qualcomm.
