so here's the fastest arm processor
in the world for laptop business right here so hi so who are you
my name's eric greenman and i work on the windows on snapdragon team
and this is a very special arm processor right it is indeed it is our first
generation dedicated compute platform processor
it will be out and available in pcs in the fourth quarter of this year
starting approximately in october or november
of 2019. but it's right here it's in the laptop it's a real prototype
absolutely this is a reference design product it's
obviously not being sold just yet but it is running the current processor
which is somewhere in here it is absolutely inside it's not too hot
it's not too long so why can't you just ship it now why do you have to wait for
q4 because the companies that are
ultimately going to build this product are the companies that will be taking in
the process or when it's available for general sale so this is the first
product this hcx isn't yet being shipped to the oems for
sale so it'll start shipping later this year
in 2019. so um this is the first time
in the industry that somebody designed specifically for the laptop
market it's not just an overclocked smartphone chipset
no it's not which is also cool the 835 and 850s were amazing
right they were the first steps in the process but over the 18-month period
from when we delivered the first 835 which was in may
of 2018 to when we delivered the first
generation or the second generation product which was the 850
in october of 2018 to the point where we deliver
this product in october of 2019 in that 18-month period we will have
gone through three generations of processors
to deliver the most powerful arm-based windows compute processor ever available
on the pc market so what's the official jump in
performance from 850 to hcx so a product like this from the hcx
will have a number of important performance improvements so for example
what we have displaying here the 850 as a product isn't designed to run
multiple monitors here i'm running two 4k monitors as well as the on the
monitor on the screen of the pc itself which is maybe a full hd
it is indeed a full hd monitor hd plus 4k plus 4k
exactly right the previous didn't do that previously the 850 did not support
that maybe only one 4k right one one external
monitor not multiple so there's a two times uh displayport
output basically correct these are both from
usbc 4k 60 each yep so exactly right that's like
a dual 4k correct which is a lot this product also
will support both 4g and 5g when it's available later this
year this product is also our first
generation product designed to support enterprise applications so things like
vmware vpn and the security solutions that are
important for businesses the 850 wasn't designed to do that yep
what does that mean to support that so so to
support enterprise means that this product is designed to
meet the needs of business and enterprise users so multiple monitors
solutions that enterprises that are you know with software that are important to
an enterprise like vmware for virtual sessions like
the security solutions that enterprises use
that consumers do not so this is the first generation platform that's
designed to do that so um this is ready for big business
basically it is it will also meet the needs of
consumers and depending upon what the oems want to produce
and how they want to go about bringing those products to market what customers
they want to serve consumers versus business customers
you'll see different configurations of this product in the market
so uh what is the performance jump from 850
to this one the like do you say percentages we don't at this point
because we're still talking about a product that's in reference design and
isn't in final silicon we don't run benchmarks we do in fact run benchmarks
so as an example the 850 is designed to compete against an intel
m series processor right so an m3 or m5 this product when it ships our
expectation is that we'll be competitive with an intel i series or sorry an intel
u-series processor and in the form of a u3 or an
i3 or an i5 so a substantial increase in performance
but the most important thing you know in addition to the increase in
performance is going to be the improve uh the increase
in battery life that's associated with this so the product the 850
is capable of running 20 hours continuously on a single charge
this product is capable of running 25 hours on a single charge
in local even longer battery life even longer battery life because this is even
more efficient than the previous generation is this
seven nanometers yes and the previous 10 nanometers correct
that's a big deal right that is a big deal
the other big difference between these products is that the um
the the uh sorry the 850 product which is over on the other side like i said
is meant to predominantly to be a consumer product
and it is part of the original 800 series
roadmap right for mobile phones right it's based on the 845.
this is the first generation product that will be where our roadmap forks
this is our first dedicated compute only solution
for windows on arm it was rumored to be called snapdragon
1000 why is it hcx the changing and branding as it relates
to that the internal names that we have previously discussed
weren't going to be the final product or brand name
of the product when we finally went through the process we decided to talk
about hcx eight series product compute
extreme is what the c and the x stand for so still the eight
series product like the 835 850 except the difference is that the 835 and 850
were derivative chips from mobile phone processors
the 8cx is its own branch on the roadmap a separate product being built to
support this it's very awesome i just thought
snapdragon 1000 sounded cool but that was all the rumors that was
just on the rumor side and i love those rumor sites it was very exciting and
it's exciting to see that it's real and the shape is special it's like more
rectangular than chips are usually or not no no i
mean it's just a that's just a design spec of what it looks like
and uh it's got a crazy fast gpu right so all of the things that are
normally needed inside of a pc a cpu a gpu in our case also the
importance of a cellular modem all integrated onto one chip there's a
855 coming out right there is an 855 but that's seven
nanometers but that's not part of the computer
platforms it's completely separate it's not the same architecture of the chip
it's not meant to be it's not 855. it's not meant to be part of the compute
product it's a separate product for the mobile world and for phones
nice so um this is going to be the form factor
laptops well this is a reference design laptop
what the ulti what the laptops ultimately look like when they come from
oems whoever chooses to deliver it will be up
to the oem themselves so if uh over on the other side where
i've got a lenovo product their product very thin sleek looks one
way the product that they have elsewhere
here in the booth that's from samsung looks very different also thin and sleek
just a different form factor developed by another oem
so let's check the 850 around here sure we can jump in in there if you don't
mind if you jump in there so here's the 850 lenovo this is uh
i think it's probably the most beautiful arm laptop in the world right now
uh sweetie beautiful that's amazing i want to make sure to leave that and
they're only because the demo that we're running actually up
here on screen right so this shows the difference in
the thermal properties between these units
so you can see how hot a product that uses traditional x86 architecture is
versus something that's using the r market so there's an intel and adele
here lenovo with an arm this is the lenovo
what's the qualcomm snapdragon product in it so
it's really beautiful it's really nice uh so you got the lenovo partnership
going on yep i think it would be awesome if there was
an 8cx think pad i love those thing pads we think that
would be awesome too but that's ultimately ultimate up to the guys
who knows we'll see because the team ads are great and it's enterprise you know
everything what you're ultimately going to see is more and more of the oems
getting into this business so i think there's going to be a lot of innovation
and a lot of new products that come to market as we move through 19.
you're talking with everybody you talking about you have samsung
samsung there's a samsung product over a little further down
yeah so there's a galaxy booth that's the galaxy book 2
which samsung is now delivering it's available
nice now the difference between this product and the lenovo
yeah the lenovo product is a convertible right so it has a hinge
that folds over the samsung galaxy book it's a detachable right it's both the
tablet as well as having a separate keyboard nice and
right here so um so you have all the contacts in
the industry all the big players they're all talking with you right now
we are talking to all of the oems you bet
samsung lenovo um i bet hp dell everybody we have relationships
with all of the major oems as well as oems outside of the us that
are looking at and interested in the
category so we're talking to lots of companies about the product so this is
going to be big this you're going full in we are we
absolutely serious about the laptop markets
we are because it's really it's an extension of something now that we
already do the idea of a mobile product a mobile
compute product is something that qualcomm's been doing for decades right
all of the smartphones that we carry all feature
you know a great number of them obviously feature qualcomm chips
are the ability of our processors to now do more
empowering compute platforms like the ones we're showing here
is one of the reasons that we think it's going to make a real big difference in
the mobile pc market i think you're really realizing the potential of your
technology because smartphones are amazing but it's really
hard to do everything in this size of a display you need a
bigger display you need multiple windows you need to do productivity right
right it's like anything else right it's the appropriate tool for the appropriate
job i wouldn't want to try to develop a
powerpoint presentation on my smartphone but i certainly would
do it obviously on my pc i wouldn't necessarily want to you know
make every telephone call that i have on my pc but that's obviously something
that my mobile phone is perfect for
