SOMETIMES NOT EVEN THE PARANOID SURVIVE: Qualcomm Snapdragon 1000 rumored to be specifically built for PCs.
New details on the chip were obtained by Germany’s WinFuture, including that it will be able to match the performance of Intel’s Core processors. Specifically, the SDM1000 system-on-a-chip is said to be a much larger 20mm x 15mm, and use 12W of power, significantly more than a smartphone processor.
The Snapdragon 1000 is also expected to use ARM’s next-generation Cortex-A76 architecture, with a 35% speed increase, while supporting up to 16GB of RAM and two 128GB storage modules, making it clear the chip would be a threat to Intel in the notebook market.
Other rumors suggest that in the coming years Apple will move the Mac line to its own in-house designed ARM processors, which would take a small chunk out of Intel’s i5, i7, and Xeon business.
