Qualcomm recently unveiled the Snapdragon C platform, which is designed for laptops at a lower price point compared to existing alternatives. The company has now provided more detailed specifications for the platform, including performance-related data and a comparison with a competing chip. Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon C offers "all-day" battery life, although this figure may vary based on numerous factors.
The platform includes an eight-core Kryo CPU with a single-core maximum frequency of 3 GHz and a multi-core maximum frequency of 2 GHz, as well as a 2 MB cache and a 900 MHz integrated Adreno GPU. Additionally, the Snapdragon C features the Hexagon NPU. Qualcomm sets the chip against an Acer TravelMate with an Intel N250 processor, 8GB of RAM, and an 11.6-inch screen, claiming that the Snapdragon C is up to twice as powerful as the N250 chip in various tests, with gains ranging from 39% to 106%.
The company initially announced a target starting price of US$300 (~RM1,226) for laptops using the Snapdragon C, though this figure could potentially change due to the increasing memory prices. Acer has already demonstrated its upcoming Aspire Go 15 laptop featuring the Snapdragon C as part of its Computex 2026 lineup, but its pricing remains undisclosed.
Other brands, such as ASUS, HP, and Lenovo, have pledged to release products utilizing the Snapdragon C chip.
