Qualcomm is working on a new Snapdragon 7c chipset for mid-range PCs
Qualcomm might be working on a new chipset for PCs and Chrombooks that could be a new model under the Snapdragon 7c series.
Last week, a report from WinFuture claimed Qualcomm is working on a newer and more powerful chipset for PCs, one that's likely an update to the second-gen Snapdragon 8cx. Now, new information says that might not be the only new PC chipset that the company is working on. If a new report from WinFuture is true, then Qualcomm is also working on a new octa-core processor that will be launched under the Snapdragon 7 series, which will also be made specifically for laptops and 2-in-1 PCs. This one is expected to be a successor to the Snapdragon 7c, which means it will most likely end up in Chromebooks and Windows 10 on ARM laptops.

Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 8c and 7c for Always On, Always Connected PCs
At the 2019 Snapdragon Tech Summit, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 7c and Snapdragon 8c compute platforms for Always On, Always Connected PCs.
Last year, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8cx 5G platform, the world’s first 7nm SoC for laptops, in an attempt to capture the growing market of hybrid, thin-and-light always-connected personal computers (ACPCs). This was the latest in a series of Qualcomm chips for ACPC as the company had previously tested the waters with the Snapdragon 850 and Snapdragon 835 Mobile PC platforms. While we saw Snapdragon 835-powered Windows 10 ACPCs as early as 2018, the Snapdragon 850 was even better tailored for Windows on ARM, which was brought about by concerted effort from Microsoft and Qualcomm. Now, at this year’s Snapdragon Tech Summit, the ACPC chipset portfolio is expanding with the announcement of the new Snapdragon 8c and Snapdragon 7c mobile PC platforms.
