There will be a big change in Qualcomm as they are now separating the Qualcomm and Snapdragon brands. Snapdragon will now be a standalone product and will only tie-up with Qualcomm where appropriate. The company has also revealed new representative colors for the brand, including Midnight, Gunmetal, Nickel, Snapdragon Red, and Gold. The company will also introduce a new simplified and consistent naming structure for their platforms for customers to easily identify and discover products powered by Snapdragon. There will be a transition to a single-digit series and generation number for their products, starting with the newest flagship Snapdragon 8-series platform. They will also be taking out the 5G branding from all their products as the company says that any Snapdragon product will have 5G built-in. Qualcomm has just set a new benchmark for mobile computing with the announcement of its Snapdragon X2 Elite platform for PCs. The Snapdragon X2 Elite comes in three (3) configurations, with the top-end Extreme X2E-96-100 featuring 18 total cores, 12 prime cores running up to 4.4 GHz, and six performance cores at 3.6 GHz.
