rummy tigerAfter moving past appearances, I found there was more going on under the hood. This isn’t an Intel-powered notebook like earlier XPS 13 models. Instead, the new XPS 13 is powered by an ARM chip from Qualcomm, which supplies mobile processors used in smartphones. And that’s where things get interesting. Apple also uses ARM architecture in its processors; however, Windows versions of ARM chipsets have been lagging in performance. Microsoft and its PC vendors hope this changes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus processors. These chips are touted to be the biggest CPU shakeup since Apple Silicon. Dell offers the XPS 13 with the Snapdragon X Elite or X Plus as a configurable option. Both chips have different processing powers, with the X Elite sitting on top, but they have something in common: a neural processing unit (NPU) with 45 tera operations per second (TOPS). TOPS, or Tera Operations per Second, is a term used to measure Neural Processing Unit (NPU) performance in AI PCs and is designed to specifically handle artificial intelligence tasks. This means it is possible to run AI systems directly on chips inside the computers, making them faster, more personal, and more private, and bringing AI prowess and Gen AI capabilities to PCs people own and use every day.The rupee consolidated in a narrow range and settled 13 paise higher at 81.80 against US dollar on Thursday, ahead of the RBI monetary policy decision scheduled to come out on Friday.Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla Nayak, which was earlier scheduled for a release on January 12, now will have a solo theatrical release in the Telugu states on February 25.
