Folks at Chromeunboxed discovered new Qualcomm commits in the Chromium Repositories which points towards something new being cooked. However, there is scarce information available about the Qualcomm commits. But each commit carries changes in 3 files – layout.cof, make.defaults, and toolchain.conf.
From these, we conclude that new Chips and platforms are set to debut in the ChromiumOS. It is tough to conclude whether these commits are pointing toward Snapdragon X Elite or some other Qualcomm chipsets. Whatever Chipset comes, new Qualcomm processors are in for the ChroemOS.
We have to wait and watch to validate the information, but for now Snapdragon X Elite is the talk of the town with its highly impressive specifications.
