Qualcomm Bringing Snapdragon X Series To Mini PCs For As Little As ~$600 USD

Following last year's launch of Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 powered laptops, Qualcomm is using CES 2025 this week in Las Vegas for promoting the Snapdragon X Series for mini desktop form factor PCs

Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon X Platform for powering upcoming mini PCs with 8-core Oryon processor, 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU, and LPDDR5x memory. As of early 2025, I have yet to see a Snapdragon X1 laptop provide a really compelling Linux experience with the upstream kernel support and performance. So presumably it will be much the same manner for Snapdragon X Platform mini PCs that it's still going to be a number of months if not longer before seeing any really nice Linux experience for these devices.
