Qualcomm's new surprise: Snapdragon 8180
#Qualcomm's latest prototype marks a shift in the personal computer market!
The IFA 2018 is undoubtedly the scene of many developments in the processors as well as the many in the arena. In addition to introducing the world's first commercial 7nm production processor Kirin 980, Qualcomm 's new #Windows 10 personal computers, powered by the #Snapdragon 850 platform, were introduced at IFA 2018. All these developments appear at the giant consumer electronics fair, while behind the scenes the echo of bigger projects is heard.
The test results of a processor subjected to the Geekbench 4 test were published by WinFuture. Origin Germany news according to the source, said to be understood from the Geekbench scores processor Snapdragon 8180 bears the name yet, but this new research prototype #processor early in the development process.
The information from the test result table clearly shows that the processor was tested on a 32-bit-based version of Windows 10. Given the knowledge that the processor architecture will support a 64-bit base version of Windows, the test results reveal the power profile of the processor.
It is expected that the Snapdragon 8180 processor will use ARM's state-of-the-art Cortex A76 cores and 15W power. This is 9W above the value of the Snapdragon 835 and the newly announced Snapdragon 850, which have been able to run previous Windows 10 personal information settings but suffer from performance bottlenecks. For this reason, it can be said that the new processor does not achieve a 50% performance increase compared to Snapdragon 835.
The Snapdragon 8180 draws a promising picture on Qualcomm's Windows PC market. but we'll see how the Snapdragon 8180's high power needs will affect Qualcomm's claim to "incredible battery life."
The Snapdragon 850 is currently the home of the Snapdragon platform's Windows-based personal computer market. We can say that the Snapdragon 8180 is just a few months away from the completion of the development process and the move of the processor to the market. However, even in the light of the information that has emerged up to now, it is possible to see Qualcomm enter the Windows PC market with high expectations.
