- It's been just over a year since we announced
the Microsoft Pluton Security Processor,
and I'm thrilled to see how quickly we are seeing
more and more availability in the marketplace.
At CES, Qualcomm Technologies announced support
for the Microsoft Pluton architecture,
and now, with the help of Lenovo,
I'm excited to announce that Microsoft Pluton
is now going to be available on Lenovo Thinkpad,
powered by the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 compute platforms
for our mutual customers.
I want to introduce Miguel Nunes, VP of Product Management,
from Qualcomm Technologies, to talk to us
about this next step in the Microsoft Pluton journey.
Hi, Miguel.
- Thanks, David, for having me, and I'm so excited
to represent Qualcomm Technologies
and the Snapdragon compute platforms.
- It's really awesome to see the Microsoft Pluton
security architecture on ARM processors.
Can you give us a sneak peak at some of the exciting things
we can expect to see from this collaboration?
- Absolutely.
We've been closely collaborating with your teams
at Microsoft and our ecosystem partners to develop products
that are designed to power the next generation
of enterprise-grade PCs.
Snapdragon compute platforms are engineered
with the best-in-class modern security solutions,
starting from the design.
Given our mobile DNA, we have been protecting from anywhere
devices for decades, and we are the ideal solution
for the hybrid workforce.
Our platforms are Microsoft Secured-core PC enabled
for the most secure Windows devices out-of-the-box.
We have also integrated the Microsoft Pluton architecture
into the Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit
for an added layer of security.
We are also working with ISVs to optimize
their input and security applications to provide
chip to cloud protection for the corporate fleet of devices.
Not only that, we're also working with the top 100 ISVs,
strategic channel partners, to delivery new business
user experiences and increase the availability of products.
At Mobile World Congress 2022,
we're so excited to see our ecosystem expand
with our collaboration with Microsoft, Lenovo, Windows ISVs,
resellers, distributors, and operators.
- Thanks, Miguel.
Next, I'm excited to welcome Nima from Lenovo
to talk to us about the first Thinkpad where you
can experience the Microsoft Pluton Security Processor
with the Snapdragon compute platforms.
Thanks for joining me, Nima.
- Thanks for having me, David.
I'm happy to be here.
- Can you show us what devices Lenovo has waiting
for us to experience the Microsoft
Pluton Security Processor on ARM?
- As you can see, it is obviously a Thinkpad,
but this is the first Thinkpad
with optional 5G connectivity and our first,
powered by the latest Snapdragon,
8cx Gen 3 compute platform.
The Thinkpad X13s runs Windows 11 Pro with native support
for the most common productivity applications.
5G offers a huge boost in bandwidth over 4G,
up to 28 hours battery life, with no compromise
on productivity or performance.
The Thinkpad also features 90% recycled magnesium materials
and recycled packaging.
AI-based noise canceling technology
in an enhanced computer vision experience
through smarter human presence detection
will improve collaboration and add an extra layer
of convenience and privacy, and speaking of privacy,
I'm really excited about the security implementations
that offer advanced hardware and software threat protection.
A Microsoft Secured-core PC, Thinkpad X13s,
is also Lenovo ThinkShield compliant.
This includes our end-to-end security platform,
and being powered by the Snapdragon compute platform,
we have the layered secure boot protection
and Microsoft Pluton architecture
running on Qualcomm's secure processing unit.
Hardware root of trust, and chip to cloud protection
of user identity, data, and applications.
These are all fundamental in the fight against cyber crime.
- Thanks, Nima.
This is just the beginning of the journey,
and I can't wait to see where the Microsoft
Pluton Security Processor goes next.
