Qualcomm today added a more affordable chip to its Snapdragon X line of processors for Windows PCs. The new Snapdragon X Plus 8-core is a slightly underpowered version of the Snapdragon X Plus from earlier this year, featuring 8-cores, lesser cache, and a weaker GPU. It’s designed for a new range of slightly cheaper Snapdragon X-powered laptops, and Acer has already brought the first one to the market.
The new Acer Swift Go 14 AI is a more affordable version of its Swift 14 AI laptop, packing the new 8-core Snapdragon X Plus chipset. It features a 14.5-inch WQXGA IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory, and up to 1TB of NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSD.
