As the countdown to the eagerly awaited Snapdragon Summit 2023 continues, Qualcomm has revealed its complete agenda on social media. The Snapdragon Summit, a key event for the tech giant, is known for its premium platform announcements for smartphones. Although the detailed specifics of what will be unveiled remain a closely guarded secret, the agenda provides a glimpse of the company’s focus this year, with a significant emphasis on PC and smartphone innovations.
Three Days of Excitement
The event spans three days, with the first two dedicated to showcasing the brand’s latest offerings. The highlight of the event is set for Tuesday, the 24th, with what appears to be a lengthy and significant presentation. However, it is Wednesday, the 25th, where the schedule offers insights into Qualcomm’s focal points, with more focused demonstrations in various areas.
The two main highlights are the “Snapdragon Compute Spotlight” and the “Snapdragon Mobile Spotlight,” representing the company’s solutions for PCs and mobile devices, respectively. During these presentations, we can expect a closer look at the highly anticipated Snapdragon X, Qualcomm’s competitor to Apple’s M2 for notebooks, as well as details about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the company’s premium processor for advanced 2024 smartphones.
The agenda also hints at audio announcements during the “Snapdragon Sound Spotlight” and exciting developments in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) during the “Snapdragon XR Spotlight.” While the specifics for these segments are yet to be disclosed, it’s likely that we’ll see an emphasis on Bluetooth 5.4 and Low Energy (LE) integration, high-quality wireless audio streaming, and the expansion of Auracast (simultaneous audio playback on multiple Bluetooth devices). Additionally, Qualcomm’s future prospects for VR, AR, and XR in 2024 are expected to be discussed.
The third day is reserved for a summit summary, but surprises cannot be ruled out. Those interested in the event can follow the releases via YouTube and Qualcomm’s official website, with the opening conference on the 24th being broadcasted starting at 4 PM Brasília time.

Qualcomm’s bet to challenge Apple and even compete with AMD and Intel, the Snapdragon X Gen 1, will be the first processor to utilize Nuvia’s technologies. Nuvia is a startup that Qualcomm acquired in 2021, boasting ex-engineers from industry giants like AMD and Apple. Nuvia’s Phoenix core, unveiled in 2019, turned heads in the industry for its exceptional performance and energy efficiency, surpassing AMD’s Zen 2 core while consuming only a fraction of energy. This technology has evolved and will be the foundation for the Oryon core.
Rumors suggest that the PC platform may feature up to 12 cores, potentially outperforming the Apple M2. It’s expected to offer popular features found in Windows-based competitors, including PCIe lanes for SSD and component expansion and support for dedicated AMD and Nvidia graphics. However, the state of software optimization, a noted challenge for Windows on ARM, remains uncertain.

For smartphone enthusiasts, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is poised to deliver a revamped CPU configuration based on ARM’s new cores, promising a substantial leap in performance and efficiency. It is speculated that this new processor will come closer to the A17 Pro in the iPhone 15 Pro in terms of CPU performance and even surpass Apple’s GPU while maintaining an impressive 30% increase in efficiency.
In this exciting event, Qualcomm is set to unveil cutting-edge innovations, potentially reshaping the landscape of PC and smartphone technology. Tech enthusiasts around the world eagerly await these revelations at the Snapdragon Summit 2023.
