Snapdragon’s new PC chips tap AirJet’s radical solid-state cooling

Two Qualcomm reference conceptions, presenting the new Elite Snapdragon X2 chips, use an ajet cooling system from Fror Systems, have confirmed representatives.

Qualcomm launched its Snapdragon X2 Elite and Elite Extreme Second Generation Chips at the Snapdragon Technology Summit in Maui. At the time of the press, the company had not announced any partner for the two product families, although Qualcomm has shown two reference conceptions in a demonstration display case.

Within the two reference conceptions were the Extreme Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 chips, the fastest company processors of the company to date. The X2 Elite Extreme includes a total of 18 cores, which can maintain 4.4 GHz and increase up to 5 GHz under load.

The reference conceptions did not include a system fan, but used Fore Air, confirmed a Qualcomm representative. It was not clear which ajet cooling chip was used, including options such as mini slim ajet.

In addition, Qualcomm reference conceptions look cool, including a “Frisbee” design and a thin mini-PC which is put in an office screen.

Although the Airjet galvanized the industry when it was early in late 2022, the company announced any major PC design victory. It is not clear if Qualcomm’s reference design obliges the use of a rejection or simply suggests it, and if a PC manufacturer would adopt it. Nevertheless, this is a new juicy for Airjet, but it turns out.
