Computers running on ARM processors? This Christmas could be a reality

It is one of the most anticipated movements for the coming months and that we have already talked about on other occasions. It is about the support for ARM applications in X86 processors but until today little else was known apart from rumors.

And we already have first-hand information, specifically from Steve Mollenkopf, CEO of Qualcomm and I'm sure you'll find it interesting. More than anything because the arrival of the first PC's based on an ARM processor, which with this type of functionality, will be the advance of mobile phones.

It will be in the last quarter of 2017 when it seems that the first proposals of this type will begin to arrive to the markets, dates in The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor will already have become widespread in the market, which for now is the only one compatible with this functionality.

They would not be mobile phones but they would be a base prior to their arrival in 2018

A first step before seeing how Windows 10 reaches mobile devices for which we will have to wait a little longer, until the arrival of the expected Surface Phone that will serve as the starting signal to begin to see this type of proposal arrive.

An interesting movement on the part of Microsoft that could take advantage of the Christmas momentum to put these first devices on the market and check on the go what is the pull they have in the market before betting more strongly on those new mobile devices that so many expect.

We hope then, yes, to see how the first _smartphones_ arrive throughout 2018 with the support to be able to offer games and applications based on on x86. While we could find these first devices before a PC with a permanent connection to the mobile network, Bluetooth 5, Wi-Gig and maybe everything even running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor.
