Qualcomm is expanding its product range with new processors, specifically for professional applications. These processors also deliver relatively high performance for accelerating AI models, enabling the simultaneous analysis of sensor data across multiple dimensions.

Qualcomm has announced new processors designed for manufacturers of industrial PC systems. Such PCs are used, for example, to connect various devices to a network so that a valve in a plant can be conveniently controlled from the control room. The announced Dragonwing IQ-X SoCs are not only intended to receive and manage such data, but also to provide local acceleration of AI models. In this regard, a maximum AI performance of 45 TOPS is specified, which is a typical value for NPUs integrated into processors.

The Dragonwing IQ-X series SoCs are also designed to be used in demanding environmental conditions and in a temperature range between -40°C and 105°C, such as in hot factory halls. Between 8 and 12 Qualcomm Oryon performance cores are installed. Unsurprisingly, the Dragonwing IQ-X series is based on the ARM architecture and supports Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC.

The Dragonwing IQ-X series will also be compatible with existing carrier boards and certain compute modules. An evaluation kit will be available, allowing for preliminary implementation studies. Qualcomm has not yet announced a specific launch date, but the first products are expected in the coming months.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
