*ARM processors... I can easily see a company like Nvidia trying to bring its own ARM based CPU's to desktop, they have experience with their Tegra chips so they might look at this as an opportunity. Plus you have Apple who's giving up on Intel and is working to slowly rollout ARM on their product line.

[@pwnmeisterage]

NVidia/AMD GPU cores are already based on stripped-down ARM cores. If Qualcomm can establish ARM CPUs into ATX boards then companies like Samsung and TSMC will follow. Apple doesn't make processors, they only have enough financial power to influence demand (and success) of components made by other companies.

it sounds expensive. the all-day-on concept of laptop is good but today's laptop cpu are so well developed for effeciency and power, it's not easy to get into market. it is not just a pricing problem, Intel and amd can be super competitive on price to stop new comer obviously.

Nice video Gary, thank you. I love where Qualcomm is headed with the 8cx. Adreno is an anagram of Radeon. Qualcomm bought AMD's handheld IP aka the Imageon mobile GPU a few years ago. I'd love to see the two companies go in together on a high end, ultra low power GPU for laptops. We currently have Radeon Vega mobile and Adreno, both are good, but imagine an GPU born of Qualcomm and AMD's semi-custom division in SOCs and APUs.

[@AnalogFoundry]

I wonder if they'll scale it up from laptops to low-power desktops in the future.

[@mocoj7423]

If it's not Qualcomm that does it someone else inevitably will, ARM's seems like their goal is to eventually release a high-end CPU to compete with Intel and AMD in the desktop market. Apple will likely be the first to compete with their custom chips and I can see Qualcomm or maybe Nvidia releasing something similar shortly after. I say within 5 - 10 years ARM will for sure be in desktops on a competitive level.

I'm actually really excited about this , coming from a cs background we learnt risc assembly and I got really interested with the platform and how it handles instructions , and inherently from the ground up it's efficient. I hope at some point they can release arm chips that are performance oriented . So like 40-50w on desktops and 25 watts on laptops. It would push developers on Windows to port their code on both platforms which would essentially create more competition in the desktop and laptop CPU market that's been dominated by Intel and amd(as of now) #ripviacpus

[@OnlyKaerius]

I'd love to see one or more SMB using this chip. Seems like it could be an awesome emulation platform, as long as the emulator runs natively on ARM, it'll suffer no more performance loss in emulating than one running on x86, since it'll have to emulate anyway. Could be turned into the ultimate gaming handheld.

So basically Qualcomm took the QSD855, doubled it and called the result "QSD8cx". In my eye, this sounds like a super expensive chip which makes laptops really expensive too... I would still choose a intel processor just because it supports everything and not just a few dozen apps. And Laptops with intel processors are lasting almost as long as Qualcomm based laptops in reality. They were never even close to 20h battery life.

[@charbax]

I think Qualcomm has a say in retail price of these laptops, not just in terms of how much they charge for the CPU. For example for all previous high end Qualcomm smartphone chipsets, I think Qualcomm kind of has an approval process, that if smartphone makers want to release something that Qualcomm thinks is too cheap, then they don't provide the chip to them. Perhaps some exclusions have been Xiaomi and OnePlus and perhaps a few others but perhaps Qualcomm thought it was ok because mainly targetted outside of the US/EU market. Qualcomm wants to be associated with premium so they kind of want the products to be priced high. I wish Qualcomm to target also much lower priced devices in average. A sub-$500 Qualcomm 8cx based laptop with that whole 2Gbit LTE and everything would be awesome. I also think Microsoft has a say in encouraging it. For example Microsoft should do one of their Surface laptops using 8cx and price it at sub-$500 yet featuring all premium quality components, premium display, premium battery, premium keyboard, premium mousepad, premium build quality and everything.

[@elimalinsky7069]

Qualcomm claims we should expect performance similar to the Intel i7 U-class CPUs with the power efficiency of the i7 Y-class CPUs. The U-class CPUs have recently closed the gap with HQ-class laptop CPUs, to the point that HQ CPUs are now mostly targeted towards the gaming and professional markets, while the Y-class is just a bit more powerful that the severly underpowerd Celeron series, but gives you a very long battery life. If Qualcomm manages to pull this off then Microsoft ought to seriously consider pushing app developers into porting native third-party Windows apps to the ARM platform, as the emulation method implemented at the moment simply won't cut it in the long run.

x86 architecture is slowly reaching the final days of it's life cycle. It's good tho; ARM based tech is cheaper, more efficient and soon it will be head to head with Intel in terms of performance. When it comes to app compatibility, it's all about market share; as ARM architecture increases it's dominance, more and more apps will come with native ARM support.

[@akasection]

Qualcomm with SOC is quite a monopoly tho.

linux does have a lot of software compiled for arm, and anything not precompiled can be compiled from source if you have access to the source (any foss). i think if you tried installing steam got more mainstream games it wouldn't work though

Android possibly not because android wouldnt have the support for the specific cpu, unless someone compiles for it, wich can eventually happen. Android x86 is made for x86 not arm, but then you dont just have a arm version of the x86 to be installed on the pc, only roms to be flashed in smartphones, and again, without the support for that specific not mobile targeted snapdragon. Only if someone goes their way to compile android x86 or create a new arm branch for desktop arm, that only if those laptops become more popular. Under linux, i dont know if there is, but i never heard of a compatibility layer, so only arm compiled programs would run, and steam games wouldnt.

[@eduardoavila646]

Aviral Rastogi No, read again, what i said is that there isnt any x86 compatiblity layer under linux. All packages and programs wich work under arm compiled distros, are compiled specifically to arm. And no, initially linux wouldnt probably work under that chip, because of the initial lack of drivers until a update comes out. Or it would work unreliably or it would just kernel panic. Later on, maybe some weeks, maybe some months depending on how qualcom deals with drivers and the opensource community, it will work flawlesslly under linux just as any rapsberry, *but* still there wont be a x86 translation layer.

Making 7nm chipsets is probably harder than making 14nm ones. Of course these laptops will be expensive. Great explanation btw !!!

I would be willing to try Qualcom for windows, but its windows turn now to catch up on half-baked features and UI for windows 10. They're increasingly lagging behind in finishing several features of the last three years both native and new in the last 3 years. If that was more up to scratch and ready today I would be willing to take the risk on hardware. Hardware on windows has been getting fine, its the OS now lagging behind in my experience.

I'm hoping for a fade away from the x86 architecture
