  3. Tuxedo won’t sell a Linux laptop with Qualcomm Snapdragon X after all

    Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X series processor made a big splash when they first hit the scene last year, because they were the first Arm-based chips for Windows PCs that promised competitive performance with the Intel and AMD processors that have dominated the market for decades. But what about PCs that don’t run Windows?

    Last June German PC maker Schenker and Linux PC vendor Tuxedo Computers […]

  4. Lilbits: Gaming on all the things (Snapdragon PCs, handhelds, Chromebooks, and really old PCs)

    A few days after a private fight became public between the company bringing Pebble smartwatches back from the dead and the team of independent developers who ensured that the original watches continued to function without becoming zombies, a member of the Rebble team has weighed in with some thoughts that might help put things in perspective.

    Meanwhile, in other tech news from around the web, […]

    Just wondering, I know it takes a lot of work, but once bootstrapped the #Linux support for the first #qualcomm #snapdragonxelite will it be easier to support the 2nd generation CPU?

  7. Ubuntu will improve ARM64 support

    Ubuntu had conducted a very interesting test for the ARM64 processor architecture support on a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite machine during the development of Ubuntu 24.10. It was a huge success, seeing as the ARM64 laptops and desktops are being more popular in today’s computer stores, alongside the existing ARM64 machines.

    As Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin gets closer to the stable release, the Ubuntu team is considering improving support for the ARM64 machines, especially those that use the Snapdragon X Elite processors. The ubuntu-x1e-settings meta-package, which is necessary for such computers, has been promoted to the main repository. At the same time, the qcom-firmware-extract package, which is necessary for Qualcomm machines and is a script that provides a way to extract Qualcomm firmware files from the Windows partition and to create a Debian package for a specific machine, has been uploaded to the universe repository. The script currently provides support for the following Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite machines, with more machines to be added to the list:

    • Acer Swift 14 AI (SF14-11)
    • ASUS Vivobook S 15
    • Dell XPS 13 9345
    • HP Omnibook X 14
    • Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6
    • Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x
    • Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (13.8 inch)
    • Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge

    The Linux kernel package and the Ubuntu installer will be updated to support such machines to make sure that they run Ubuntu without any problems. This is going to be done starting from 25.04 to make sure that the next LTS, which will be released in the next April, runs flawlessly on such machines.

    Alongside that, the Ubuntu team plans to improve support for all ARM64 machines by distributing a single working Ubuntu ISO file for ARM64 systems and by eliminating device-specific installers to make installing Ubuntu on such systems easier than never before. This will be a single official Ubuntu image that works on all the platforms, be it an Ampere powered workstation, a Snapdragon X Elite laptop, an ARM64 server, or in a virtual machine on your Apple Silicon Mac.

    The Raspberry Pi machines will also experience improved system compatibility by changing the camera stack to work with such machines. The new PiSP driver has been added to the camera stack to make sure that the Raspberry Pi machines be able to use the camera on Ubuntu, in addition to the rpicam-apps (userspace apps), picamera2 (Python API for camera), and their dependencies. This allows for a smooth migration from the original OS, which is Raspberry Pi OS.

    However, the AI features for the official AI camera that uses the Sony IMX500 imaging sensor are not available in this version of Ubuntu due to licensing concerns, but the Ubuntu team will be working on it to resolve the licensing issues so that Raspberry Pi machines will be able to use the AI features for such cameras outside the original OS.

  8. GEEKOM QS1 is the first mini PC with a Snapdragon X Elite processor

    Most major PC makers have released laptops with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processors in the last half year or so. But so far we haven’t seen any desktop computers with the chips unless you count the Snapdragon Dev Kit which was discontinued before it was even made widely available.

    And that makes the GEEKOM QS1 the first real desktop computer powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X series processor. Details about GEEKOM’s upcoming mini PC started to make the rounds last year, but CES 2025 is the official coming out party for this little desktop computer with a Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-80-100) processor.

    That chip features 12 Oryon CPU cores with support for single and dual-core speeds up to 4 GHz or multi-core speeds up to 3.4 GHz, a 3.8 TFLOPS GPU, and a 45 TOPS NPU for on-device AI.

    The computer pairs that processor with up to 64GB of LPDDR5-8400 memory and the system features support for up to two SSDs:

    • 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4×4
    • 1 x M.2 2242 PCIe Gen 4×2

    Other features include a fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button, support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and four digital microphones built into the computer.

    Ports include:

    • 1 x USB4
    • 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
    • 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A
    • 1 x HDMI 2.0
    • 1 x 2.5 Gb Ethernet
    • 1 x 3.5mm audio
    • 1 x SD card reader

    The spec sheet is a little contradictory when it comes to the computer’s physical dimensions: in one spot the system is said to measure 135.5 x 115.5 x 34.5mm, which would be 5.33″ x 4.54″ x 1.36″ if converted from millimeters to inches. But in another spot it’s said to be 4.4″ x 4.4″ x 1.4″. So I’d take the measurements with a grain of salt.

    Pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet, but GEEKOM’s partner Solid Pro plans to show off the mini PC this week during CES 2025.

  11. Just to note, #Qualcomm last ARM chip had like a week of fame.

    Then it was beaten to a pulp by #AMD, then stomped by #Intel, and then r**** by #Apple while the corpse was still warm.

    A #SnapdragonX machine makes sense as long it sells below its competitors. And I’m going to die on that hill.
