Qualcomm has unveiled the latest addition to its X Series of laptop CPUs, with the new Qualcomm X Plus 8-Core range offering a lower spec than previous X Elite and X Plus 10-Core chips, making them ideal for super thin and light laptops. With their incredibly low power consumption, yet capable CPU and GPU components, these new chips should usher in a new wave of ultra-portable, incredibly long-lasting but still (just about) gaming-capable laptops.
While the best gaming laptops still predominantly use either AMD or Intel CPUs, and focus more on gaming performance than battery life, Qualcomm‘s new Snapdragon X chips are carving out a place for gamers who need to prioritize battery life but occasionally want to play too.
