Snapdragon 1000 would be the next qualcomm chip for laptops

It was recently announced that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 850 chipset will be dedicated to ARM laptops running the Windows 10 operating system. Apparently this is just the beginning of Qualcomm's strategy to try to conquer the notebook market, and the next Snapdragon 1000 confirms this.

Snapdragon 1000 would have a 12W TDP

The chipmaker is looking forward to working on its next big project for laptops running Microsoft's operating system, the Snapdragon 1000, and by doing so, it will be competing against Intel's processors. It would be an ARM-based silicon with much more power compared to other SoCs. At this time, official information about the chip is not available, but here is what we know so far.

The power of the Snapdragon 1000 would be much greater than that of other SoCs. It is estimated to hit 12W across multiple devices, bringing it closer to Intel's U-Series 15W TDP. In fact, the maximum power dissipation for Snapdragon 850 can go up to 6.5W and can be compared to Intel's Y series.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 1000 could be the first real threat to Intel with a higher TDP to allow greater speed and autonomy for future ultraportables. ASUS is rumored to have developed a device that could house the Snapdragon 1000 chip and could be called Primus. This product is estimated to have 2K resolution and can even provide support for the latest ultra-fast WiGig standard. The launch would be scheduled for later this year.

The arrival of Qualcomm and ARM chips to the notebook market can mean computers with greater autonomy.
