The company also introduced Snapdragon X2 Elite processors targeting premium laptops and mobile workstations. These chips feature an 80 TOPS NPU that enables advanced artificial intelligence applications. Both processor families emphasize energy efficiency while providing substantial performance gains over earlier generations.
