Qualcomm just launched its new Oryon CPUs and the Snapdragon 8 Elite at the Snapdragon Summit in Maui. While these chips might be designed for phones and not PCs, the next-gen Oryon CPU core within those chips could be headed to PCs in a future iteration of the Snapdragon X Elite.

Qualcomm has canceled its Snapdragon Dev Kit, the miniature Windows on Arm PC that was originally supposed to ship in June. In an email to customers, Qualcomm said the mini PC “has not met our usual standards of excellence” and orders will now be refunded.

Qualcomm has canceled its dev kit, a Snapdragon mini-PC powered by Windows on Arms. Originally, it was planned for a June 2024 release window but missed that entirely. Now, as part of an official announcement, Qualcomm has stated that the kit has been canceled because it “has not met our usual standards of excellence.”

Qualcomm has canceled its upcoming Windows Mini PC, the Snapdragon Dev Kit, in what could be a blow to some Arm developers. The $899 Mini PC wasn't intended for general use, but to help developers develop Windows applications that were natively compatible with chips manufactured by semiconductor giant Arm.

Qualcomm axes its Windows on ARM PC dev kit. The company said it did not meet its usual standard of excellence, so orders will be refunded.

Snapdragon Dev Kit was supposed to ship in June but was repeatedly delayed. It's been a big year for Windows running on Arm chips, something that Microsoft and Arm chipmakers have been trying to get off the ground for well over a decade.

Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon Dev Kit earlier this year, which is a small Windows on ARM PC but it seems like the company didn't have its expectations met with the product. Qualcomm has been facing delays for months in getting the Snapdragon X Elite-powered mini PC ready.
