In brief: Apple’s M1-series chipsets have impressed with their performance and energy efficiency, so much so that Qualcomm is looking to offer a similar solution for Windows laptops. The chipmaker says it expects the first commercial devices powered by this new chip to land in 2023.

MediaTek is slowly eating away Qualcomm’s share of the mobile chipset market, but the latter isn’t particularly worried about it. Qualcomm is more concerned about making laptop processors that could compete with those made by Intel, AMD, and Apple.

During the Investor Day 2021 event, the chipmaker announced that its next-generation Arm-based SoC is on track to launch in 2023. Dr. James Thompson, Qualcomm’s chief technology officer, said the new chip is designed “to set the performance benchmark for Windows PCs” and offer comparable value to that of Apple’s M-series chipsets.

Qualcomm’s new silicon is being developed by Nuvia, which it acquired earlier this year for $1.4 billion. The Nuvia team is led by three former Apple employees that previously worked on A-series chipsets for iPhone and iPad.

Competing with Apple’s M-series chipsets will also require a beefier GPU. Qualcomm says it will be scaling up its Adreno GPU design to offer desktop-class gaming performance on laptops. The chipmaker also promises sustained performance on battery power, comparable to the Apple M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max chips.

Wow, this will become very interesting. What if they can make a laptop CPU with integrated GPU just as advanced as Apple's M1? Of course it should be able to support Windows without any problems. The troubles for Intel keep getting bigger, that's for sure.
