NVIDIA and MediaTek are collaborating on a new Arm-based AI processor for Windows systems, set to compete directly with Qualcomm, AMD, and Intel. The chip, designed on TSMC’s 3nm process node, will feature NVIDIA’s RTX technology and is expected to launch in the first half of 2025.
The two most highly anticipated tablets of 2024, the updated iPad Pro and the radically redesigned Surface Pro, have finally arrived. Both devices offer cutting-edge features and competitive specs, but which one is right for you? Let’s dive into a comprehensive comparison to help you make an informed decision.
HP is overhauling its branding to simplify customer selection. The new structure has two main lines: consumer (Omni) and commercial (Elite). Both lines will feature AI-powered features to enhance productivity and efficiency. AI Helix branding will represent AI experiences across all devices and software. The inaugural products, the OmniBook X AI PC and EliteBook Ultra AI PC, are equipped with Snapdragon X Elite processors and dedicated NPUs for exceptional performance.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus is a new ARM-powered chip that offers a more affordable option than the X Elite. Based on the same Oryon CPU as the X Elite, the X Plus has 10 cores (compared to the Elite’s 12) and a lower clock speed of 3.4GHz (compared to the Elite’s 3.8GHz). Despite these differences, the X Plus still manages to outperform Apple’s M3 chip in a multi-threaded CPU benchmark. It is also considerably more power efficient than traditional x86 chips, using approximately 54% less power at peak performance than the Intel Core Ultra 7155H.
