Yesterday’s quarterly reporting presentation from the lips of the Qualcomm leadership, an application was made that processors of the Snapdragon X share of laptops market under the control of the Windows line of 10 %were exceeded. From the philistine point of view, this looked too arrogant statement, but you need to take into account a number of reservations that make it plausible.

As explained by representatives of Tom’s Hardware, we are talking about the US market, and it is retail, without taking into account corporate procurement. Secondly, the price segment is limited-devices were taken into account not cheaper than $ 800. This condition alone is quite very limited by the sample, since in the USA the average cost of a laptop in retail last year was $ 750.
In any case, Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors will continue their market expansion this year. Models with eight cores are aimed at the device range worth about $ 600. This year, in total, about 80 models of systems based on these processors should enter the market, and more than one hundred new models will appear in the next. In the end, the Qualcomm management expects that by 2029 processors of the Snapdragon X family will take up to half the Windows segment. Perhaps by that time this statement will be fair with fewer reservations.
