Iminyaka edlule besingeke sicabange nokucabanga ukuthi i-smartphone noma ithebhulethi ingaba ne-chip noma i-SoC ekwazi ukuphatha lawo ma-Pentiums asendulo noma amaprosesa akamuva. Kunjalo-ke ukuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe beselula ukuthi amanye amagama amakhulu ekwakhiweni kwe-chip aphendukela kuma-PC wedeskithophu.
Le yiQualcomm efinyelele esivumelwaneni neMicrosoft ukwethula ngonyaka ozayo ama-laptops azoba nesibindi sabo ama-chip alowo mkhiqizi obalulekile one-Android njenge-bulwark yayo ephezulu. Ngenxa yokuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe, kuyinto ejwayelekile ukuthi iQualcomm igcine igcine kwi-laptop.
Futhi ngabe kungulwesine olwedlule iMicrosoft ibibambe umcimbi obizwa ngeWindows Hardware Engineering Community (WinHEC) lapho I-Qualcomm yenza ukubukeka okuhle futhi okumangazayo. Lezi zinkampani ezimbili zimemezele ukuthi bazobambisana ukuletha isipiliyoni esigcwele seWindows 10 kuhlelo lweprosesa leQualcomm, ngokuqala nge-Snapdragon elandelayo.
Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ngenxa yezizathu eziningana, kepha ikakhulukazi ngoba ama-processor weQualcomm abesuselwe kubakhiwo obekade busetshenziswa kuma-PC we-desktop nokusatshalaliswa kweLinux. I-chip entsha ye-Snapdragon kuzoba yi-SoC yokuqala yalolu hlobo ekusebenzeni kohlelo lokusebenza lwama-bit-64.
AbakwaMicrosoft noQualcomm bathe ama-laptops aneSnadpragon azoba itholakalela unyaka olandelayo. Lawa madivayisi angaqhuba iWindows 10 nezinhlelo zayo ezisindayo ngaphandle kwezinkinga ezinkulu, kepha ngenzuzo yokuhlinzeka ngomklamo omncane kanye nempilo yebhethri ende.
Idemo yaboniswa uqobo lwayo, lapho iMicrosoft ikhombisa khona iPc ene-Snapdragon leyo yenza i-adobe photoshop isebenze, olunye lwalezo zinhlelo olwaziwa ngokusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwezinsizakusebenza olwenza kukhompyutha. Singasho nje ukuthi i-chip ye-Snapdragon ene-835 idlule ngenothi elihle kakhulu esiphezulu sakhe sokuba.
