Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Chips Capture Over 10% of U.S. Premium Windows Laptop Market

The Snapdragon X Series saw significant growth in late 2024, gaining traction in Windows laptops priced above $800 in the U.S.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chips accounted for more than 10% of U.S. retail sales of Windows laptops priced over $800 in December 2024, a notable increase from 0.8% in Q3 2024.
The data, shared during Qualcomm's Q1 2025 earnings call, highlights gains in consumer sales but excludes institutional purchases and global figures.
Snapdragon X-powered laptops offer competitive battery life, exceeding 15 hours in real-world use, positioning them as an alternative to Apple's M-series MacBooks.
Qualcomm plans to expand its reach with an upcoming 8-core Snapdragon X chip targeting $600 laptops, though its release timeline remains speculative.
The company aims for significant market growth, with 80 PC designs planned for 2025 and a goal to capture 50% of the Windows PC market by 2029.
