I-Intel isizame kaninginingi ukungena emakethe yezingcingo, kepha yonke yehlulekile ngenxa ye- ukusebenza okungalungile okuhlinzekwa ngabaprosesa bayo lapho iQualcomm ilawula khona imakethe ngama-chips e-ARM. Ekugcineni, i-Intel yathatha isinqumo sokuqhubeka nokuzama futhi igxile kuma-processor we-desktop.
Kepha ukuhamba kwakamuva kweQualcomm kusikisela ukuthi kulungiselela yeqa uye kumakhompyutha wedeskithophuOkungenani basinikeza izinzuzo ezingaphansi njengalezo namuhla eziphethwe ngabaprosesa be-Intel Celeron nabakwa-Atom. Ekuqaleni, ama-processor we-Snapdragon 850/950 ayehloselwe lolu hlobo lwezinto zokusebenza kepha ukusebenza kwawo kabi kwenza lo mbono wacabanga kabusha.
Kepha kubonakala sengathi nge-Snapdragon 1000, inkampani ifuna ukuba yiprosesa ngokugqama kwamakhompyutha aphethwe yiWindows 10. Namuhla, ama-processor weQualcomm akhona kwinani elikhulu lama-smartphones, okugqokekayo, amadivayisi axhunyiwe… Ukungena kwayo kumkhakha wedeskithophu noma wekhompuyutha ephathekayo okwamanje akukaze kwenzeke ngenxa yokuntuleka kwamandla abawunikelayo, amandla iSpapdragon 1000 enganikela ngawo ngokuphelele.
Ukuze iprosesa ikhuphule ukusebenza kwayo, kufanele ingeze ama-cores amaningi ngaphezu kokudla amandla amaningi. I-Qualcomm ifuna ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphezulu kwalawa ma-processor kube yi-6,5 watts, 1,5 ngaphezulu kokusetshenziswa kwamanje kwe-Snapdragon 845 ezakha iningi lama-smartphones aphezulu asebenza kakhulu emakethe kulo nyaka.
Ngale ndlela, kungaba ukuphakama okufanayo ne- ukusetshenziswa kwamanje kwamaprosesa we-Intel's Celerom ne-Atom, engingayishaya kalula. Ngonyaka owodwa nje, uma ukukhishwa kwe-Snapdragon 1000 kuqinisekiswa, inkampani ngabe ihambe unyaka owodwa nje kusuka ku-835/845 nokusuka ku-850/950 kuya ku-1000.
