Amachips wanamuhla angamaselula abezokwazi ukusebenza eminyakeni edlule eyedlule ukubhekana ngqo namaPentiums asendulo. Inqubekela phambili kulokhu ibhekela ukuthi kungakapheli sikhathi esingakanani sikwazi qalisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ukuthi bekungeke kwenzeke kithi ukuthi sibe nethuluzi entendeni yesandla sethu elingadluli ama-intshi ama-5 noma ama-6 ngosayizi wesikrini.
Ngakho-ke kuyinto ejwayelekile ukuthi iQualcomm, enolwazi olukhulu ngayo kuselula, isivele ilungiselela ukuyenza ngena emakethe yamakhompyutha wedeskithophu. KwakungoLwesine lwesonto eledlule lapho iMicrosoft yabamba umcimbi obizwa ngeWindows Hardware Engineering Community (WinHEC) lapho iQualcomm yenza ukubukeka okumangazayo.
Lezi zinkampani ezimbili zimemezele ukuthi zibambisene nazo letha isipiliyoni seWindows 10 iphelele ngama-processor we-Qualcomm, azoqala nge-Snapdragon elandelayo.
Izindaba ezibalulekile, ikakhulukazi njengoba amaprosesa weQualcomm asuselwa kubakhiwo, kuze kube manje, yayisetshenziswe kumakhompyutha desktop kokunye ukusatshalaliswa kweLinux. I-Snapdragon entsha izoba yi-chip yokuqala yohlobo lwayo ukusebenzisa uhlelo lwama-64-bit ngaphandle kwe-iOS noma i-Android.
UMicrosoft noQualcomm bakusho lokho ama-laptops ane-Snapdragon Bazotholakala ngonyaka ozayo, ngakho-ke isivumelwano besesisebenza isikhathi esithile manje. Amadivayisi anjalo angasebenza neWindows 10, engavumela ukwethula izinhlelo nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezisebenzisa i-CPU eningi, ngenkathi inganikela ngempilo yebhethri enhle nomklamo omncane kakhulu.
Esibonisweni, iMicrosoft ikhombisa ikhompiyutha ene-Snapdragon esebenzisa i-Adobe Photoshop, enye yalezo zinhlelo eyaziwa kakhulu ngokusetshenziswa kwayo ngokweqile kwezinsiza ze-PC. Manje umuntu angazibuza ukuthi singakwazi nini une-boot ebili ene-Android kanye neWindows 10.
