										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECH</strong> &#8211; At CES 2026, Qualcomm pulled the curtain back on a fresh addition to its PC silicon lineup: the Snapdragon X2 Plus, a chip platform designed to bring higher performance, longer battery life, and robust on-device AI to mainstream Windows notebooks, according to Jagat Review. Unlike the top-tier Snapdragon X2 Elite and Elite Extreme, the X2 Plus is built to widen the Snapdragon X Series’ appeal — targeting professionals, creators and everyday users who crave power without sacrificing mobility or efficiency.</p>
<p>The heart of this new platform is the third-generation Qualcomm Oryon CPU, which Qualcomm says boosts single-core performance by up to 35 % compared with the last generation while slashing energy consumption by as much as 43 %. That means laptops powered by X2 Plus chips could deliver noticeably snappier responsiveness for tasks like data analysis, creative design and long video calls — while still sipping far less energy.</p>
<p>Beyond raw CPU power, the Snapdragon X2 Plus packs serious AI muscle thanks to Qualcomm’s Hexagon NPU, rated at 80 TOPS (trillions of operations per second). This on-chip AI engine is built to handle complex generative and “agentic” AI tasks locally — without leaning heavily on cloud computing — enabling smooth multitasking and enhanced AI-based features embedded into Windows 11 Copilot+ experiences.</p>

<p>At the CES unveiling, Qualcomm’s Senior Vice President Kedar Kondap summed up the company’s vision for the platform “Modern professionals and creators want to do more, create more, and push the limits of generative AI and all-day performance. Snapdragon X2 Plus platform delivers the power, efficiency and intelligence to surpass their ambitions, making each experience more responsive and personal.”</p>
<p>The Snapdragon X2 Plus family includes both 10-core and 6-core models, giving OEMs flexibility to design devices that balance cost, performance and thermal efficiency. Connectivity hasn’t been overlooked either: the platform supports Wi-Fi 7, optional 5G, Bluetooth 5.4, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Guardian security suite, aimed at keeping data safe in mobile and enterprise environments.</p>
<p>Qualcomm clearly hopes this platform will accelerate adoption of Arm-based PCs running Windows 11 Copilot+. With its blend of power, AI capabilities and all-day battery life, the Snapdragon X2 Plus chips are expected to start appearing in consumer and professional laptops in the first half of 2026 — a pivotal moment that could reshape the competitive landscape against traditional x86 processors from Intel and AMD.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="85" data-end="434"><strong>TECH </strong>&#8211; Qualcomm has introduced its newest wearable chipsets, Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 and W5+ Gen 2, bringing groundbreaking satellite communication and smarter location tracking to smartwatches. These developments elevate wearable safety and precision significantly, especially in remote or challenging environments.</p>
<p data-start="436" data-end="907">At their core, both chipsets retain the 4 nm architecture with four Cortex-A53 CPU cores and the Adreno 702 GPU, maintaining foundational performance from previous generations. The Plus variant (W5+ Gen 2) adds a low-power co-processor built on a 22 nm Cortex-M55, enhancing efficiency and extending background tasks like notifications, audio, Wi-Fi, and GPS even when the main SoC remains idle.</p>
<p data-start="909" data-end="1512"><strong>Satellite Connectivity (NB-NTN)</strong></p>
<p>A standout feature is support for satellite messaging via Narrowband Non-Terrestrial Network (NB-NTN)—powered by Skylo—which allows wearers to send and receive SOS messages when disconnected from cellular or Wi-Fi networks. This makes smartwatches leveraging these chipsets—like the newly announced Pixel Watch 4—the first wearables capable of satellite-based emergency communication. Qualcomm claims Wear OS is now the first wearable platform to integrate such satellite capabilities.</p>
<p data-start="909" data-end="1512">Read More: <a href="https://todayinasian.com/tech/chinas-xizhi-e-beam-lithography-a-new-chipmaking-breakthrough/">China’s ‘Xizhi’ E-Beam Lithography: A New Chipmaking Breakthrough</a></p>
<p data-start="1514" data-end="1870"><strong>Improved GPS Accuracy</strong></p>
<p>Both chipsets also feature advanced positioning capabilities through “Location Machine Learning 3.0,” which leverages AI to enhance GPS accuracy by up to 50% compared to Gen 1. This upgrade promises superior tracking in dense urban areas or deep canyons where signal interference is common.</p>
<p data-start="1872" data-end="2158"><strong>Smaller Size &amp; Better Efficiency</strong><br />
<br data-start="1908" data-end="1911" />Qualcomm has slimmed down the Radio Frequency Front-End (RFFE) module by approximately 20%, reducing both power consumption and physical footprint—enabling sleeker watch designs with extended battery life.</p>
<p data-start="2160" data-end="2697"><strong>First Device and Developer Use</strong><br />
<br data-start="2194" data-end="2197" />The Google Pixel Watch 4 is confirmed as the launch device featuring the Snapdragon W5 Gen 2. Its implementation is already positioned to deliver life-saving satellite SOS in emergencies, with free access initially, followed by subscription-based service in the future. Qualcomm emphasizes that enhanced connectivity, efficiency, and accurate tracking are now possible across Wear OS wearables thanks to these platforms.</p>
<p data-start="2699" data-end="3013">These updates underscore Qualcomm’s strategy of enriching wearable technology with meaningful safety and navigation capabilities—without drastically altering performance specs. The W5 Gen 2 platforms mark a major step toward smarter, more resilient devices tailored for real-world use, particularly in emergencies.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECH </strong>&#8211; Qualcomm is set to redefine flagship mobile performance with its upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, potentially breaking the 5 GHz barrier for the first time in a consumer chip. According to recent leaks, engineering sample units have hit clock speeds as high as 5.3 GHz, rivaling speeds typically only found in high-end laptop CPUs. These preliminary results come as Qualcomm prepares to launch the chip earlier than usual at its Snapdragon Summit on September 23, 2025.</p>
<p>Built on TSMC’s advanced 3 nm N3P process and featuring second-generation Oryon custom CPU cores, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 represents a significant leap over its predecessor. Leaks suggest a 30% performance boost in single-core tasks and around 12–20% in multi-core workloads. Indeed, Geekbench 6 benchmarks reportedly show scores exceeding 4,000 in single-core and 11,000+ in multi-core, up from 3,190 and 9,957 in earlier models.</p>
<p>On the graphics side, the new Adreno 840 GPU features an expanded 16 MB cache, up from 12 MB previously, promising around a 30% improvement in graphics performance. This upgrade should translate into smoother gameplay and more efficient handling of heavy graphical workloads. However, as with the previous Elite chipset, thermal management remains a core concern—Qualcomm faces pressure to balance raw performance with cooling efficiency.</p>

<p>Additional details from engineering unit reports indicate 5.3 GHz memory clocks on LPDDR5X RAM (equating to 10,600 MT/s), ensuring rapid data throughput. Early comparisons with other chips, such as MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500, show near parity in benchmark figures—both boasting single-core scores above 3,900 and multi-core results around 11,000.</p>
<p>Qualcomm’s aim with Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is to challenge rival platforms—potentially even outpacing Apple’s anticipated A19 chip—by offering a compelling mix of speed, power efficiency, and advanced multimedia capabilities. Device makers, including Samsung and Xiaomi, are expected to adopt the chip early, with rumored support for new models like the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Xiaomi 16 .</p>
<p>With its unprecedented clock speeds and robust GPU advancements, Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 positions itself as a transformative step forward in mobile processing power. Its official unveiling in September will mark a pivotal moment in the ongoing chip war shaping the next generation of smartphones and tablets.</p>
