Arm-based PCs won’t shake the PC world in 2025, according to a recently published report by tech intelligence experts, ABI Research. in a report Identifying 101 technology trends that will — and won’t — shape 2025, analysts at ABI say they expect Arm-based PCs to “account for just 13% of total PC shipments in 2025.” This prediction may scare the hearts of companies like Qualcomm and their investors, so let’s take a closer look.
By the summer, it seemed like we’d been waiting eons for Qualcomm to launch the first Nuvia (Oryon) core-powered Arm processors for the PC market, and they were duly showcased in Computex 2024. We’ve also heard a lot of menace and bravado regarding the projected fortunes of Arm PCs over the next half-decade. Notably, both Arm’s CEO and Qualcomm’s CEO have spoken publicly about Arm Windows PCs receiving a rating 50% of market share Within five years.
Upon release, the first Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus devices debuted the first processors certified for MicrosoftCopilot+ PC, and the star Battery life provided With these laptops, unrestricted portability has been redefined for Windows users. However, people were not, and still are, unimpressed with Microsoft Co-pilot + misfire(s)and it only took a few months before current laptop competitors Intel and AMD Windows rolled out architectures that were efficiently tuned to negate the biggest selling point of Arm Windows PCs — battery life.
Is it any surprise, then, that ABI Research now believes there is limited potential for further Arm PC penetration in the next year? The report highlights that this is a pivotal year for the Arm PC platform, but it looks like it could be a failure.
ABI points out that in addition to AMD and Intel ruining the Arm PC dream, there has been disruption Legal quarrel Among the biggest players in Arm, especially when it comes to licensing and royalties. Last but not least, ABI doesn’t see the x86 software advantage going away this year either.
Although the laptop sector is the biggest target for Armed PC supporters, we reported an interesting world record for Cinebench 128 core arm desktop computer Yesterday’s tower.
Other ABI forecasts for 2025
The full report from the ABI touches on several other technical aspects. We think readers might also be interested to hear what analysts think Computers powered by artificial intelligence It will become the new normal in 2025. Hopefully, taking native AI out of the premium tier will mean there are more reasons to own an AI-powered PC, in a chicken-and-egg fashion.
In other technology highlights, ABI predicts that artificially intelligent humanoid robots will not take over the world, indoor semiconductor transfer will still take several years to materialize as planned, and most people still don’t want to wear smart glasses.
