Qualcomm is currently the biggest chip maker for smartphones but it’s slowly been making inroads into the PC business that’s dominated by Intel and AMD. Today, the first laptop with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chip has gone on sale via Verizon in the form of the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s notebook.

Back in December 2021, Qualcomm stated the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 would have a 40% improvement in single-core CPU performance, along with an 85% improvement with multiple cores. The included Adreno GPU chip has a 60% improvement compared to the previous version found in the older 8cx processor.
