Smarter by the Trillions: How Snapdragon X Elite Processors Give New Meaning to Worker Productivity

Picture a world where your business has its own AI-powered sidekick. A digital Sherlock Holmes, uncovering insights and deciphering mysteries in your data to guide you to unprecedented success.

What was once a story that only existed in intriguing spy novels is now a tangible reality — and the accelerated popularity caught nearly everyone by surprise.

Within just the past two years, 40% of global companies have invested in AI technology to help them gain a competitive advantage — while another 42% are exploring AI integration and its game-changing possibilities.

The question has shifted from “Can AI truly accelerate my company’s achievement of business objectives?” (as supported by a 2024 McKinsey survey) to a new focus: determining which devices and processors will yield optimal results for your specific needs.

Traditional PCs vs. AI PCs

The latest AI PCs to capture headlines for their power, efficiency, and ability to drive business success are the new Microsoft Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs, powered exclusively today by Snapdragon X Elite processors.

But before we dive into the benefits, you need to appreciate the significant difference between traditional PCs you’ve known and the new generation of AI-powered PCs.

Traditional PCs do have some AI capabilities, such as search engines, chatbots, and basic security features. But AI PCs take things to an entirely different level. They contain a new component, a Neural Processing Unit (NPU or “brain” of the PC). This NPU works in conjunction with the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) you’re already familiar with.

NPUs are difference-makers because they can run multiple AI tasks simultaneously while also enabling something truly transformative: inferencing. Inferencing is when AI draws conclusions from new data. An example is an AI model trained on images of agriculture that can help farmers identify unhealthy crops.

These new specialized NPU processors are built to handle the intricate mathematical computations needed to run AI tasks faster than the blink of an eye. And they’re the key to helping businesses streamline operations, jumpstart productivity, and achieve goals faster than anyone ever imagined.

That said, not all NPUs are created equally.

Why Copilot+ AI PCs with Snapdragon X Elite processors have the edge

Only laptops with more than 40 Trillion Operations Per Second (TOPS) on the NPU are considered Copilot+ PCs.

Snapdragon X Elite processors, used exclusively today in Copilot+ PCs, deliver 45 TOPS, giving users some of the fastest, most seamless, and intelligent AI experiences currently available on the market. Qualcomm Technologies calls laptops with this much AI processing power “Next Gen PCs.”

What does that mean for you?

Tapping into this new technology can change the course of your business.

These devices can dramatically increase worker performance and productivity — while significantly decreasing power consumption and cost per watt.

In other words, an investment that pays off in spades.

For the all-important productivity factor, C. Michael Belcher, Director of Sales, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., explains that Snapdragon X Elite processors help teams do more in less time because AI is always running in the background on Copilot+ PCs.

In this Insight interview, he describes how a continuous stream of AI learns to recognize individuals’ work patterns — and offers suggestions about how to get things done faster.

“The AI just gets better and better at understanding how you work so when you start to use tools like Outlook, it’s going to say, ‘Hey, you wrote an email like this two weeks ago, you want to just copy and paste that in?’”

A shortcut for completing simple tasks? Yes, please.

The power of AI goes way beyond email drafts and summarization

Eliminating rote tasks that eat up time, like responding to emails and summarizing meeting notes, are just a few of the ways Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X Elite processors help increase worker productivity. The devices also feature lightning-fast Wi-Fi 7 and 5G capabilities to boost connectivity and collaboration — as well as hundreds of AI apps that help workers research, generate ideas, and even write a day’s worth of code in seconds.

A little extra sleuthing reveals even more productivity-boosting features that help teams get work done not just faster, but better:
