Qualcomm announces the Snapdragon 8cx, an 'extreme' processor for Windows laptops
The "X" stands for "extreme." That's what Qualcomm's marketing department wants you to think about the new eight-core Snapdragon 8cx.
It's a brand-new processor for always-connected Windows laptops and 2-in-1 convertible PCs, and from Qualcomm's perspective, it might seem a little extreme. Physically, it's the largest processor the company has ever made, with the most powerful CPU and GPU Qualcomm has devised yet. Qualcomm says it'll be the first 7nm chip for a PC platform, beating a struggling Intel to the punch, and the biggest performance leap for a Snapdragon ever. The company's promising "amazing battery life," and up to 2Gbps cellular connectivity.
The TDP is 7 Watts, and the chip supports up to 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM.
Previously, a "Snapdragon 1000" for laptops was said to be in the works, but with a 12 Watt TDP.

While I make similar jokes myself, that's the pot calling the kettle black. Much like the Muppet's Swedish Chef's rounded vowels or Spanish coronal fricatives [wikipedia.org], English speakers are often caricaturized over the aspiration of voiceless stops before stressed vowels [umanitoba.ca] especially when trying to speak other languages as sounding "gay".

The old adage was like: use French for lovers, German for soldiers, Italian for friends, English for ducks.
