It was recently announced that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 850 chipset will be dedicated to ARM-enabled notebooks using the Windows 10 operating system. Apparently, this is just the beginning of Qualcomm’s strategy to conquer the notebook market, and the upcoming Snapdragon 1000 confirms it.
Snapdragon 1000 would have a 12W TDP
The chip manufacturer is looking forward to working on its next big project for notebooks running Microsoft’s operating system, the Snapdragon 1000, and in doing so, will be competing against Intel processors. It would be an ARM-based silicon with much more power compared to other SoCs. At this time, the official information about the chip is not available, but here’s what we know so far.
The power of the Snapdragon 1000 would be much higher than that of other SoC’s. It is estimated to reach 12W on various devices, which brings it closer to the 15W Intel U-Series TDP. In fact, the maximum power dissipation for the Snapdragon 850 can be as high as 6.5W and can be compared to the Intel Y Series.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 1000 could be the first real threat to Intel with a higher TDP to enable greater speed and autonomy for future netbooks. It is rumoured that ASUS has developed a device that could house the Snapdragon 1000 chip and could be called Primus. This product is estimated to have a resolution of 2K and can even provide support for the latest ultra-fast WiGig standard. The launch would be scheduled for the end of this year.
The arrival of Qualcomm and ARM chips in the notebook market can mean devices with greater range.
