Qualcomm’s Powerful PC Chip Is Worse for AMD Than for Intel

From Nasdaq.:

In the world of PC CPUs, Intel and AMD dominate with x86 architecture. Efforts to break the duopoly have failed, but Apple successfully transitioned to Arm-based CPUs for Macs, offering better battery life than Windows laptops.

Microsoft is striving for Arm-based PC success with Windows 11, but faces compatibility and performance challenges with Qualcomm chips. The upcoming Snapdragon X Elite may bridge the performance gap and redefine the PC CPU market.

While Intel stands to benefit from the rise of Arm-based PCs through its foundry business, AMD faces increased competition with potential market share losses. Arm-based PCs represent an opportunity for Intel’s foundry aspirations, while posing risks for AMD in the traditional PC CPU market.
