News & Reviews:   Qualcomm Malaysia

Qualcomm recently announced their latest Snapdragon AI PCs featuring CoPilot+ on-device AI, better performance and gaming along with longer battery life. Showcasing thin and lightweight form factors, the Snapdragon AI PCs are powered by the latest Snapdragon X Series and Snapdragon X2 Series. 

This MWC 2026, Qualcomm have announced their new Snapdragon Wear Elite Platform designed to deliver Personal AI for wearables like watches, pins, pendants and more. Featuring an industry-first NPU-powered wearable platform, it should offer low-power on-device AI for these smaller devices.

After being in the rumour mills for a while, Qualcomm today finally released its latest mid-range chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. The first 7-series chip to feature generative AI, read on to find out more about the new mobile processor.

Previously, we mentioned Qualcomm's launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Today, a leaker suggests that the new-gen SoC could cost more than $160 (~RM738.08). That’s because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 could be priced at $160. Hence, we should expect the new SoC to cost more.

If you thought Google cutting business ties with Huawei wasn’t brutal enough, Qualcomm and Intel have now hopped on the bandwagon as well. The two companies will be cutting chip supplies to the Chinese manufacturer under orders by the Trump administration.

Qualcomm has always been ahead of the rest when it comes to technology. We’ve only barely scratched the surface when it comes to 5G chipsets on smartphones and Qualcomm has already announced their next-gen modem-integrated processor.

Qualcomm officially launched the Qualcomm 9205 LTE modem chipset earlier. The chipset is made for low power and wide area IoT products and boasts a 70% reduced idle power consumption besides being 50% smaller than its predecessor. The chipset is said to be available next year.
