Windows 10 ARM to get a power boost with Snapdragon 1000
« on: June 08, 2018, 04:21:42 PM »
Earlier this week, Qualcomm announced its Snapdragon 850 Mobile Compute Platform for Always Connected PCs-powered by Windows 10. The focus of the processor is on Always Connected PCs, and it boasts a 30 percent increase in performance and a 20 percent increase in battery life.

The chip manufacturer Qualcomm is now looking forward to work on its next processor for Windows 10 on ARM hardware.

Qualcomm appears to be working on Snapdragon 1000 and it’ll feature a 12-watt (W) TDP, and such a level of TDP threshold simply wouldn’t run on a smartphone. The Snapdragon 1000 appears to be designed for Windows 10 ARM devices, so it’s likely that the processor will boost the performance of Always Connected PCs.

The powerful TDP will improve the performance of the laptops dramatically, and the higher threshold power will be driven to components without overheating.

We have very little information on the processor for the time being, but we’ll learn more about it later this year. German technology news outlet WinFuture reports that Qualcomm Snapdragon 1000 is coming soon with almost double TDP found on the Snapdragon 850. It will be competing against Intel’s processors and bringing it closer to Intel’s U-series 15W TDP.

It remains to be seen whether the ARM PCs with Snapdragon 1000 that comes with 12W of TDP can deliver the day-long battery life or not.
