[quote=NotCranky][quote=AN]Totally agree. This is a big hit to Intel and big boon for QCOM.
Photoshop runs pretty well in the demo on just the 820. The animation is pretty smooth too. This should be exciting to see it evolve over the next 2-5 years. I think it’s a game changer. Especially for companies. Why buy your employee a laptop/desktop and a phone when you can just buy them a phone and just have a monitor/keyboard/mouse at every cubicle.[/quote]
That’s amazing. I might not replace my home PC next time I need one if I can do that. Does that make sense ?[/quote]That’s the holy grail, but I don’t expect it to be mostly there until late next year or even early 2018 when MSFT release the Redstone release 4 or 5. They only demo laptop running on ARM. They have continuum for phone and the rumor is that for x86 apps, it’ll run only in Continuum mode on big screen with keyboard/mouse, since x86 apps weren’t designed to be touchable and on a small screen.
The Snapdragon 835 releasing early 2017 is supposed to be 25%+ faster than the previous version as well as being a lot more power efficient. So by late 2017 early 2018, QCOM will release their next version chip which should be even more powerful and more power efficient.
