After nearly a year of accompanying the Snapdragon team on its computing journey, our dream team was ready for even more groundbreaking news. Spoiler alert: they weren't disappointed. **Another milestone for Snapdragon X Series** The episode's biggest highlight is a pre-IFA press conference where Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon reveals the latest addition to the Snapdragon® X Series: the [Snapdragon X Plus 8-core platform](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/laptops-and-tablets/snapdragon-x-plus).

The Snapdragon X Plus 8-core promises advanced AI experiences, extremely long battery life, support for Triple 4K or Dual 5K monitor setups, and high-fidelity music listening. Simply put, this platform is set to redefine the entry-level Windows PC. **Conversations with Qualcomm leadership** No episode of "Behind the Silicon" would be complete without hearing from Qualcomm Technologies' leadership. Carmen True, Vice President of Product Marketing (Qualcomm Technologies), joins Lucy and the Snapdragon Insiders to discuss the impact of the new announcements.
