Microsoft’s Surface AI event: news, rumors and lots of Qualcomm laptops

The Snapdragon X Plus is Qualcomm’s entry-level laptop chip. It has 10 cores, 42 MB of 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 one second) to aid in sophisticated generative AI applications. .
