New Snapdragon Mobile And PC Platforms Set To Fuel A New Breed Of Agentic AI

Each fall, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii, has become a tech industry bellwether for where mobile and now PC silicon is headed. This year’s event was no exception, and if there was a single theme that permeated the keynotes and demos, it was that the age of agentic AI has arrived, and Qualcomm aims to be its silicon backbone.

The company unveiled two flagship processors, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for smartphones and the Snapdragon X2 Elite for PCs—that not only push performance and efficiency forward but will also hopefully serve as the foundation for a new class of AI-fueled personal agents.
