The Snapdragon X Plus is Qualcomm’s entry-level laptop chip. It has 10 cores, 42 MB cache, a maximum multithreaded frequency of 3.4 GHz and an NPU with 45 tera operations per second (TOPS, or how many mathematical calculations it can solve in a second ) to facilitate sophisticated generative AI applications. .
