3 times the user satisfaction of traditional laptops? The era of mobile PCs has arrived

What kind of device can a mobile PC be? Combining the flexible experience of smart phones and the productivity of PCs, mobile PCs can bring on the one hand the experience of always-on, long battery life, outstanding image performance, instant wake-up and other smartphone-like experiences, on the other hand, with larger screens, higher input efficiency, higher computing performance and other PC products office capabilities. On qualcomm's 3rd generation Snapdragon 8cx computing platform, the development momentum of mobile PCs is emerging.

When the PC walks into mobile computing

Ultra-thin, fanless, instant wake-up, several days of battery life, can provide x86 platform with half of the watt energy consumption of the same energy consumption performance, support Windows, Chrome OS and other MAINSTREAM PC operating systems - based on the Snapdragon mobile computing platform Snapdragon, with a new form of mobile PC, redefine mobile computing.

Snapdragon's powerful per-watt performance, high-speed network connectivity and outstanding imaging capabilities come from the hardware performance, connectivity technology and AI capabilities of the 3rd generation Snapdragon 8cx computing platform.

More advanced process and design optimizations have greatly improved the single-threaded and multi-threaded performance of the Snapdragon, and brought low power performance that is better than the competition. The 3rd generation Snapdragon 8cx is the world's first 5nm Windows PC platform, combined with Qualcomm Kryo CPU, its single-threaded performance is 40% higher than the previous generation, multi-threaded performance is 85% higher, in the faster response at the same time, support users to multitask more efficiently. Geekbench 5 multi-threaded testing shows that the 3rd Generation Snapdragon 8cx is capable of achieving up to 85% intergenerational performance improvement and 60% performance per watt compared to the x86-based competitive platform. At the same time, the 3rd generation Snapdragon 8cx can quickly enter a low-power mode and stay connected, significantly extending the use time of the PC.

The 3rd generation Snapdragon 8cx computing platform also brings the world's most complete PC platform connectivity solution. Terminals equipped with the platform can achieve connection speeds of up to 10Gbps, seamlessly switch between Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, 5G or 4G LTE trusted networks, and enable user devices to remain always online. This means that the device is up-to-date, starting instantly with the tap of the power on button and virtually no wake-up time.

Based on the improvement of image processing capabilities and the integration of AI technology, Snapdragon has comprehensively upgraded the image capabilities of PCs. The 3rd Generation Snapdragon 8cx improves camera startup time by 15%, features autofocus, auto white balance and auto exposure, and supports shooting experiences up to 4K HDR. The 3rd Generation Snapdragon 8cx also uses AI to accelerate noise and echo cancellation technology, allowing Snapdragon to eliminate background noise such as dog barking and weeding, providing a clear audio experience in almost any environment.

"On the 3rd Generation Snapdragon 8cx, we can deliver more than 29 TOPS AI acceleration performance, up to 3 times higher than the previous generation, enabling more immersive terminal-side experiences such as face detection, background blur, audio blur and translation." Miguel Nunes, vice president of product management at Qualcomm Technologies, said.

Define a new work-life experience

The digital economy is expanding the development of thousands of industries and new spaces, and it is also profoundly changing the public's working lifestyle. The prevention and control requirements of the new crown pneumonia epidemic have made business operations shift from offline to online almost overnight. The Snapdragon Computing Platform empowers businesses to accelerate their transition to a new hybrid office environment, enabling employees to work from home, in the office and on the move.

Companies surveyed said that using snapdragon books is 3 times more productive and end-user satisfaction than using traditional x86 laptops. At the same time, it's the IT team raved about software that updates all enterprise devices in real time, so device security is guaranteed no matter where employees are. We also learned that a hybrid office model is critical for companies to attract and retain top talent, and Snapdragon is the key to helping companies achieve their talent strategies. Qualcomm vice president of strategy and analytics Miran Chun said.

In the past year, the epidemic has brought challenges to many industries and enterprises around the world, especially increasing the operational pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises. The Snapdragon computing platform provides a secure, agile infrastructure for small and medium-sized enterprises, and supports plug-and-play Snapdragon, enabling employees to synchronize pace and respond quickly with the enterprise, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of enterprise decision-making. In Qualcomm's Small Business Accelerator program, the Snapdragon Computing Platform brings business process improvements to businesses from industries such as retail, media production, and nonprofits, playing a key role in helping businesses achieve their goals and accelerate their digital transformation.

Snapdragon is also bringing a smooth wireless learning experience to the next generation of students. Because mobile PCs dramatically improve battery life and are always online, students don't have to worry about computer connectivity and more time collaborating and getting creative in and out of the classroom. Recently, Qualcomm's "Wireless Care" program tracked the teaching of digital literacy classrooms in Kentucky. According to the survey, 100% of participating teachers believe that students who have the opportunity to use wireless devices such as always-connected PCs achieve better interaction. Among them, 76% of students improved their technical skills and 50% of students had enhanced critical thinking.

Qualcomm said that it will work with OEMs and software manufacturers to create more mobile PC products and bring more meaningful impacts to the way the public lives, works and creates.
