Always Connected PCs with ARM processors are becoming more and more common, and Qualcomm is a major player here. With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G, the company is now releasing the second generation of the mobile processor.
Windows on ARM has been on the rise for a few years now. The advantage is that ultrabooks can be even thinner without the battery life or performance deteriorating. Another plus point is the processor's LTE chip. Qualcomm already uses its own processor in these devices. And now the manufacturer has introduced the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G, the second generation of this.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G: 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and better performance
The new ARM chip from Qualcomm comes with three important innovations. The first change is 5G. Previously, only LTE speeds were possible, but now you can also surf with 5G. Of course, this requires a suitable mobile phone plan. And while we're on the subject of the Internet: Wi-Fi 6 is also on board. Finally, Qualcomm has improved the performance. It is said to be 18 percent faster than the tenth generation Core i7.
The new ARM chip should be available towards the end of the year. Acer has already introduced the Spin 7 with the new processor.
