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.
