Insyde Software announced production-ready InsydeH2O UEFI BIOS support for multiple processor platforms used in Windows notebooks, including next-generation systems powered by NVIDIA processors, Snapdragon X2 Series, and Snapdragon C Platform.
For notebooks built on NVIDIA processors, InsydeH2O UEFI BIOS is now production-ready. This support covers performance, power efficiency, and AI compute capabilities for high-performance mobile PCs. The firmware builds on Insyde’s prior work with NVIDIA accelerated compute platforms in datacenters and the first Arm- and x86-based Copilot+ AI PCs.
For the Snapdragon X2 Series platforms, multiple customer designs from ASUS, HP, and Lenovo are now shipping with InsydeH2O UEFI BIOS. The firmware is optimized for the Qualcomm Oryon CPU, Adreno GPU, and Hexagon NPU, along with the platform’s always-on, always-connected architecture. It supports thin-and-light and fanless designs while enabling sustained performance and AI-driven user experiences.
The implementation includes advanced platform security features aligned with Microsoft Secured-core PC L3 requirements, including Pluton support, as well as Secure Wipe for NVMe storage, WMI-based manageability, and CSR enablement. Insyde also introduced H2ODDT Pro, a BIOS debug solution for Snapdragon X2 Series that provides source-level debug and system visibility during platform bring-up. The company demonstrates H2ODDT Pro for Snapdragon X2 Series platforms at COMPUTEX Taipei, June 2–5, 2026.
For the Snapdragon C Platform, InsydeH2O UEFI BIOS is production-ready following collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies. The support targets cost-efficient Windows on Snapdragon notebook systems and includes OEM customization capabilities, Graphical BIOS Setup, and WMI support for enterprise BIOS management.
“Insyde has invested in optimization with multiple Snapdragon generations to ensure customers can fully utilize the capabilities of Insyde Software with the Snapdragon X2 Series from early bring-up through production deployment,” said Alan Lo, VP of the Personal Computing Group at Insyde Software. “With H2ODDT Pro and our production-ready firmware platform, customers can validate, secure, and scale systems with Snapdragon X2 Series more efficiently.”
“The Snapdragon C Platform is an exciting opportunity to expand the Windows on Snapdragon experience by delivering everyday performance and all-day battery life,” said Alan Lo, VP of the Personal Computing Business Group at Insyde Software. “Our production-ready InsydeH2O and experience of supporting generations of Snapdragon platforms will help our customers bring their innovative products to market faster.”
