Qualcomm says that ARM is the future for Windows computing thanks in large part to its dedicated AI processing.
Windows computers have been available with ARM-based chips for years, but the OS still doesn’t work as optimally as it does on x86. That hasn’t stopped Qualcomm from rolling out ever more powerful laptop chips like the current-gen Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. At Qualcomm’s 2022 Snapdragon Summit, the company is pushing the idea that ARM is the future for Windows computing thanks in large part to its dedicated AI processing.In an x86 system, there are two processing pipelines; the CPU and GPU. When running AI-intensive tasks, the CPU and GPU have high resource consumption, which means high power draw.
