The Second Wave: Performance uplift on Windows 10 Always Connected PCs
Windows 10 ‘Always On, Always Connected PC’s with the Snapdragon 835 SoC based on Arm Cortex technology were announced in late 2017. The first wave of 2-in-1 devices from HP, Asus and Lenovo hit the market in early 2018, becoming a disruptive force in a stagnant PC market. We are now set to see the second wave of devices based on the faster, more efficient Snapdragon 850 SoC.
At the heart of these Windows 10 laptops are big improvements across three significant performance measures – battery life, connectivity and instant on. Consumers are looking for laptop devices that match their smartphone experience, with these three core features all playing an important role in a thin and light form factor, making PCs feel truly mobile. Further performance gains and an improved user experience have been achieved across the second wave of devices with the Snapdragon 850 based on DynamIQ based cores. As noted in the launch blog for DynamIQ, the technology provides advanced compute capabilities, faster responsiveness and increased power savings.
