News & Reviews:   Snapdragon Summit

This week, Qualcomm announced the existence of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset at Computex. While the mobile platform did not make an official debut, the company said the next-gen flagship chipset will be coming earlier than usual in September 2025.

During the Snapdragon Summit event, Qualcomm Technologies announced a new Snapdragon X Series for laptops. Dubbed the Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite, it's expected that a few leading global OEMs will have their PCs powered by these chips starting mid-2024.  

For years, Qualcomm was known as the chipmaker for mobile devices. However, the company does have some PC chipsets, albeit in the low-performance category. Now, sources suggest that Qualcomm could unveil another PC chipset at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 hasn't been out for that long, but we're already getting news about its successor. An official update from Qualcomm has confirmed that the Snapdragon Summit will be held from 24-26 October 2023, making it about 3 weeks earlier than the one last year.

Although there's still some time to go, Qualcomm has announced that its 2022 Snapdragon Summit will go live starting on 14 November. Therefore, we now know when will the company present its next-generation flagship chip, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
