A new report suggests that the rumored Qualcomm Snapdragon 1000 processor is specifically prepared for Windows 10 on ARM devices, including the upcoming Andromeda mobile device (also referred to as Surface Phone).
Microsoft’s Andromeda is not by any means supposed to compete against the likes of Samsung Galaxy S9 or Apple iPhone, and while the phone capabilities will still be offered, it won’t look or work like a typical smartphone.
A LinkedIn profile of an engineer suggests that Qualcomm is also working on Snapdragon 1000 processor for desktops, foldable Andromeda, and even the HoloLens.
“Qualcomm SDM1000 is destined to end up in “desktop” PCs with Windows 10 on ARM, Microsoft’s project “Andromeda” (?) and even HoloLens it seems,” the well-known leaker Roland said in a tweet.
A report recently revealed that the existing prototypes of Andromeda also “feature telephony capabilities,” and the device will be able to make calls and send text messages.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 1000 processor is reportedly a powerhouse and it will give a much-needed boost to Windows 10 on ARM project.
