We will see the first laptops arrive under Windows 10 with a Snapdragon 835 before the end of 2017

The arrival of ARM processors to laptops with Windows 10 was one of the most shocking revelations of this year 2017. Processors that above all augur great savings As far as energy consumption is concerned, something that is not trivial when it comes to portable equipment and all this without a loss of power.

From Qualcomm they assured that we would see the first teams arrive before the end of the current year. Some machines that would have inside the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, the latest processor from the American firm and the first to offer this type of solution.And apparently the deadline is in the interest of being met.

And it is that at the Qualcomm 5G conference that took place in Hong Kong, from the company they have informed about the upcoming arrival of the first equipmentthat would have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 inside. A processor that, apart from improving autonomy and therefore battery life, offers a notable improvement in power.

It is something that Don McGuire, Vice President of Global Product Marketing of Qualcomm has corroborated in said act:

In addition, this SoC (System on Chip) integrates a 4G LTE modem so that equipment that has this type of solution will be able to integrate a single set of connection to the data network and therefore could be used to bet on the expected inclusion of the eSIM.

In this way, having computers under Windows 10 running on ARM architecture will arrive at the expected execution of x86 programs, some applications that They can be downloaded from the Windows Store but also, as we have done so far, from any location.Therefore, we will not have the limitations that we found with Windows 10 S.

It is to be hoped that in these three months or a little less that are left to 2017, we will find ourselves in the market with the first teams that bet on this type of processor. Equipments that would be launched by the different partners that the Redmond company usually has and that would cause, on the other hand, something striking such as having all of them have the same ( or almost) hardware inside in the form of a processor.

We don't know for now what will be the result of this bet. The move from Intel or AMD processors to Qualcomm processors is a mystery due to their performance and possibilities that they can offer and although expectations are very high we will have to wait for have them with us in order to draw a reliable conclusion.
