Qualcomm's Best Laptop Chip Yet!

2018-12-06
hey guys so we're at call contact summit is the last day of the entire tech summit and Paul come have just announced the Qualcomm 8c X which is specifically made for these always connected always on PCs so obviously last year we saw the 835 being repurposed in these laptops and then they made the 850 which was kind of a redefined 835 there's a little bit better but this time call Tom have completely changed this chip from the ground up they've built it for a laptop so it is actually 2 times as big it's physically larger which means it's going to be a lot faster obviously you're going to get about 2 times the compute performance because it's about 2 times bigger and there's other things here - you're getting like 3.5 times the graphics performance which is awesome they showed a few examples playing like asphalt 9 obviously asphalt's a little optimized for mobile stuff so it's not necessarily a fair comparison but obviously graphics have been improved here so now you can do things like running two 4k displays just from this laptop through HDMI so that's really useful if you're in a workplace environment you're going to be able to connect to multiple monitors and they've added a lot of other things too they want this to be more like a traditional laptop experience right so they added support for things like m2 SSDs now you can have up to 16 gigabytes of RAM but it's pretty obvious that they are targeting this towards business clients because they always want people to be able to work wherever they are they focused a lot on security they had people from Microsoft and a few other security companies up there just talking about how secure these things actually are and how you can get all your work done on them so they really want it to be more focused towards a traditional laptop experience so now you can do things like using Cortana and other things that you might find on a premium laptop or a laptop that has that kind of thing but it's going to last for multiple days instead of multiple hours right welcome obviously targeted this as multi day use in the 8:35 in the 850 but this is supposed to be 60% more efficient than those chips as well so you're gonna get probably a few days of use out of this and these left ups are technically 5g ready to write because they're using a lot of the same new components that 8:55 is using so if you just throw those radios in there later next year then you're gonna be able to take advantage of these 5g networks pull down a lot of data stream things from the cloud so that's gonna be really nice but we're not actually going to see these laptops until probably early to mid 2019 in the demo room here they only had these prototypes and they were really just to show off to partners what you could do with these kind of pcs they had Lenovo onstage and Lenovo has always been really into making these laptops with them so I'm sure we're gonna see one from them hopefully in a couple other manufacturers in the future so definitely keep your eyes out for these laptops they're definitely coming early next year and I hope you guys have enjoyed everything we had going here at Qualcomm Thep Summit it is the last day so there's not really gonna be any new information from here on out but we've got all the nitty-gritty details about the HDX on our website and rotatory comm so head over there to see all the small details and I'll see you in the next video
