Qualcomm has established himself as one of the companies developing more powerful processors of the new generation of phones and tablets. His new project is to create a variant of S4 Snapdragon netbook computers compatible with the operating system Windows 8 .
Before the end of 2012 would see a final version of the multi-core ARM SoC that invite develop ultralight laptops and formed thin, or so waiting in Qualcomm as is clear from the statements of its vice president Rob Chandhok.
Ultrabook is a line of extra-lightweight computers that have spent years on the market but have failed in their time off as laptops or tablets. They adapt to the current needs of a user with good multimedia and high prices so far have not allowed a mass consumption.
It seems that with the creation of the quad-core SoC Snapdragon production costs are reduced and begin to sell more devices of this type, although it is still early to speculate. The new Cortex-A15 of Qualcomm would create a new line of low cost and high performance as all in one systems are the essence of Qualcomm, from audio and video to internet, applications and more.
With the ability to run Windows 8 in the new Qualcomm processor, this would be an excellent chance to enjoy ultra-thin computers, high performance and low price compared to ultrabooks the past.
Qualcomm then presents itself as one of the leading processors of creating a market that until recently had only two major competitors, AMD and Intel. See what happens in the coming months but has already released the first stone.
