Qualcomm has been releasing processors specifically for PCs for a while now. Since 2018, the company has been releasing chips branded as the Snapdragon 8xc for Windows laptops, according to Neowin.

Today, the company said it will drop its 8cx-branded chips in future PCs in favor of a new product called the Snapdragon X series.

Qualcomm said the Snapdragon X-series platform builds on the company's years of experience designing heterogeneous computing architectures across central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and neural processing units (NPUs). The next-generation custom Qualcomm Oryon CPU will be powered by Snapdragon X, which when combined with the NPU will deliver more on-device user experiences in the new era of generative AI.

The Qualcomm Oryon CPU was first announced in November 2022. At the time, the company said the CPU "will be integrated into a wide range of Snapdragon-powered products, starting with PCs and including smartphones... and network infrastructure solutions."

The press release states that the Snapdragon X branding will help users recognize the chip as a PC-specific product, as opposed to Qualcomm's chips made for smartphones and tablets. The company says it will change the logo on the Snapdragon X line.
