ASUS PLANNING TO LAUNCH SNAPDRAGON POWERED PC

;

WINDOWS + ASUES + SNAPDRAGON = X86 ARM CPU DEVICES??

Well, it’s been a while that there was any fuzz of ARM CPU laptop in the market, well guess what it has returned and now with a bang. The ARM CPU build by SNAPDRAGON is to be placed in laptops. Rumors are there that ASUS will be working on it. Well to know the whole thing lets unfold it step by step.

WINDOWS WITH ARM

It is not the first that such an effort is being made windows have tried rocking arm laptops in the past like the “"DELL ENVY X2”. Though it was amazing that a chip that was initially made to power mobile devices like smartphones and tablets was now being used as a mainstream component for the laptops. It sure made the major chip manufacturers somewhat sweaty under the neck but that was all. The moderate use of the devices like web-browsing, documentation, and entertainment yielded best results with low power consumption like really low arm power laptop can have a full day battery life on moderate use. But there were a major drawback arm chips can only work with software that was specifically designed for it thus no third party tools can be used other than native window components. To compensate for this problem “WINDOWS” emulated its software for an ARM for the native X86 applications to run on the ARM devices. But there was another major fault as windows had a layer for specifically X86 application the performance decreased dramatically as it ARM devices can’t handle even CHROME perfectly.

ARRIVAL OF SNAPDRAGON 1000

In the earlier days QUALCOMM has released 4 lines of SoC namely the 2XX for IoT devices, 4XX for budget smartphones and tablets, 6XX for moderate smartphones and 8XX for flagships and laptops the new 1000 series SNAPDRAGON chip is said to be of a different kind and it’s rumored to be designed specifically for the desktop market. The chips are having a greater TDP thanks to the size of the laptops which is expected to be of 6W.

INNOVATION OF ASUS

ASUS is rumored to design the first laptop rocking the SNAPDRAGON 1000 chip with WINDOWS on it. Well, the project is rumored to have a code name “PRIMUS”. If all goes ASUS will launch in the autumn.
