Kwiminyaka nje embalwa, iichips eziphathwayo ziphumelele sondela ngamandla kwabo kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo bezisetyenziswa kwiikhompyuter zedesktop. Ukuhlangana okusondeleyo kunokuba sinokucinga ukuba sinamathela kwezi ndaba esinazo ezandleni zethu ezinokuthi zithetha izinto ezimangalisayo ze-2017.
I-2017 iya kuba ngunyaka esiwubona okokuqala iilaptops ezineWindows 10 kunye neechips zeQualcomm I-Snapdragon edityaniswe ngakumbi nezixhobo eziphathwayo ze-Android. Into engokwemvelo eyenzeka ngaxa lithile kwinxalenye yeQualcomm xa yahendwa ziikhompyuter zedesktop.
Kwakukwi-Windows Hardware Engineering Community (WinHEC) umsitho apho uMicrosoft kunye neQualcomm babhengeze into eyothusayo, kwaye le yile bobabini baye babambisana ukuzisa ngokupheleleyo Windows 10 amava kuluhlu lweprosesa yeQualcomm eqala nge-Snapdragon elandelayo.
Umceli mngeni omkhulu kunye neendaba ezimnandi, kuba ezi processors zeQualcomm bezisekwe kuyilo, kude kube ngoku, ebesetyenziswa kuphela kwiikhompyuter zedesktop ezinokuhanjiswa kweLinux. Oko kuthetha ukuba i-chip entsha ye-Snapdragon Iya kuba yitshiphu yokuqala yohlobo lwayo ekusebenziseni inkqubo ye-64-bit.
UMicrosoft kunye noQualcomm bathi iilaptops ze-Snapdragon ziya kufumaneka kulo nyaka uzayo, ke siza kujonga isivumelwano esele sisebenza ixesha elide. Iimpawu zolu hlobo lwelaptop kukuba, ngaphandle kokukwazi ukusungula iinkqubo ezisebenzisa i-CPU eninzi kunye nezixhobo, ziya kubonelela ubomi obude bebhetri kunye noyilo oluncinci kakhulu kubunzima.
Kwakukweso siganeko UMicrosoft ubonise idemo apho ubona umatshini kunye ne-Snapdragon apho i-Adobe Photoshop isebenza ngokugqibeleleyo, uvavanyo olupheleleyo lwe-litmus ukuqonda amandla ezi laptops.
