SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Qualcomm's chief executive was high on enthusiasm but low on details about getting a port of the next version of Microsoft Windows for his Snapdragon processor. Separately, engineers have first silicon of Krait, the next-generation of Snapdragon, and expect to sample chips later this month.
Microsoft said in January it would make versions of Windows 8 available for ARM mobile SoCs. The same day, Nvidia announced it was working on Project Denver, a full line of ARM-based processors spanning notebooks to supercomputers.
