Its TDP (Thermal Design Power) index will be 12W against 5W for Snapdragon 845. For comparison, the Intel T-series (8250U and 8550U) quad-core chips have a TDP of 15W.
As expected, Qualcomm Snapdragon 1000 will include the recently introduced Cortex-A76 cores, which ARM claims are 35% higher at the same clock frequency. The new chip will be produced using the 7-nanometer TSMC process.
The first laptop with a new chip Qualcomm will be released by the Taiwanese company Asus. The device, codenamed “Primus”, will receive a 1080p display and a WiGig adapter. The laptop will run on ARM-versions of Windows with support for x86-based applications. His other technical specifications are still unknown, as well as the timing of the release.
