Qualcomm’s license battle with Arm puts many AI-enabled Copilot+ PCs in peril – Computerworld

The same goes for Qualcomm’s other PC partners, including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung, all of which have developed models using the same platform. In addition to Microsoft’s Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, models based on X Elite include Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7x 14, HP’s OmniBook X, Acer’s Swift 14 AI, and various laptops in Dell’s XPS, Latitude, and Inspiron ranges.  

All feature Copilot+, each promotes the claimed performance boost and hugely improved battery life of the X Elite, and most are at the more expensive business end of the price charts.

PCs with Intel and AMD processors also qualify as Copilot+ certified, so any failure to resolve the dispute, or defeat for Qualcomm, won’t disrupt AI capabilities from appearing in Windows laptops, but the Oryon core is also used in high-end smartphones and tablets due for release in the coming weeks.
