Prosesor Qualcomm Snapdragon X membuat Windows on Arm menjadi platform yang layak

Microsoft has finally achieved success in making Windows on Arm a viable platform after 12 years of effort. The new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus chips have transformed Windows on Arm, allowing it to compete with MacBooks in terms of price, performance, and battery life. While Apple’s M3 chip still leads in single-core performance, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips are showing impressive results in both single-core and multicore benchmarks. However, they fall behind in GPU performance compared to Intel and AMD integrated GPUs. Gaming on Arm is possible on these laptops, but performance may vary depending on the compatibility of the games. Overall, Microsoft’s long journey to optimize Windows on Arm for power efficiency and performance seems to be paying off with the latest Snapdragon chips.
