Snapdragon Compute platforms and Qualcomm AI Engine on Laptops


Step into the future with Snapdragon compute platforms and the Qualcomm AI Engine. The latest innovation in mobile computing, the Hexagon processor within the AI Engine delivers a world of AI-powered possibilities right at the heart of your laptop. From cutting-edge collaboration features such as voice focus (background noise suppression) and automatic framing that allow you to work flexibly within your environment, to enhanced privacy with presence detection and background blur, Snapdragon platforms enable the experiences that bring your laptops to life.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the computing industry, and Snapdragon compute platforms are leading this change. Snapdragon platforms are designed to handle complex AI models, solely on-device, enabling devices to deliver experiences that were once thought impossible. Using a combination of advanced hardware and the Qualcomm AI Stack, our complete AI software offering to enable AI capabilities such as image and speech recognition, natural language processing and more, the advancements powered by the Hexagon processor allows your laptop to operate more efficiently, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

So, what are these unique AI experiences and how can users leverage them? The great news is, many of these advancements are woven into the collaboration tools you already know and trust to bring you the most synergistic productivity features, such as Windows Studio Effects. Our team has been collaborating with Windows to bring you the most accelerated versions of Voice Focus, Background Blur, Eye Contact, and Automatic Framing. Snapdragon platforms intelligently offload these computationally intensive tasks to our Hexagon processor, allowing you to leverage AI enhanced features without connecting to the cloud and freeing the central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) to deliver better performance for everything else.


These AI-enhanced features make your laptop a more versatile, convenient, user-friendly, and productive machine. The Hexagon processor’s powerful and efficient performance with low latency also means that users can tap into these advanced AI features without sacrificing battery life or letting personal data leave the device providing a more secure and uninterrupted experience.

But it doesn’t stop there. Our world-class product and engineering teams are hard at work to continue driving innovation in the PC category and recently shared a more in depth vision for AI at Snapdragon Summit 2022. This includes our commitment to continuously improve performance as illustrated by the pre-release of UL’s new Procyon AI Inference Benchmark, showing our dedicated Hexagon processor scores up to 5x faster than the competitor’s CPU, and up to 2.5 times faster than the competitor’s GPU.

The most incredible thing about all of this is you don’t have to wait. You can experience these transformative on-device AI-accelerated experiences with unparalleled performance low-latency, and low-power consumption through our lineup of the latest Windows laptops. And now, developers can continue creating the next wave of incredible app experiences — with the Windows Dev Kit 2023 — all powered by Snapdragon.
