Qualcomm 骁 Longben: Redefining the way to fully interconnect PCs

Recently, the launch of the Snapdragon notebook equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip has injected a brand new category into the notebook product market. Qualcomm's notebook, the "Always Connected PC" concept, is a notebook that enables full-time online connection at any time. Always Connected PC will make the computer application more extensive and bring a better experience to consumers. Imagine: You can use your computer all day long during the weekend; or play games for a long time, or travel on a high-speed rail plane, you don't have to worry about your laptop going offline. Xiaolong has shown obvious advantages in terms of full-time interconnection and endurance. If you expect your laptop to be on call around the clock and enjoy the fastest LTE connectivity around the world, it's definitely better for you than any laptop.

Why has Qualcomm, which has been focusing on the mobile phone field, enter the PC field when the PC market is declining year by year? First, the Snapdragon platform has developed to the present day, and the performance is strong enough, so that the mobile terminal can also obtain quality that is not inferior to the game console. At the same time, although the notebook market is shrinking, for Qualcomm, this is a new field of 100% growth, while the mature PC industry is also looking forward to the new technology to bring about changes, OEMs also hope to pass new technology Consumers bring a better experience. Qualcomm has always been a leader and promoter of new technologies. In the era of full connectivity of notebook computers, it is hoped that joint industry chain partners will redefine the way consumers experience mobile PCs.

Since the launch of the personal computer, the X86 architecture has been the mainstay. The current Core processor is thin and light, and even the best products of the battery life will not exceed 16 hours. This is the natural disadvantage of the x86 architecture. Qualcomm has conducted research on consumers in China and the United States: if you design your own terminal, you are willing to pay for what kind of PC terminal. The results show that 60% of consumers in the United States want to be able to connect at any time, 51% of consumers want to have longer battery life; 60% of people in China want longer battery life. The advantage of the dragon based on the ARM architecture in terms of endurance is very obvious. According to the relevant materials compiled by Qualcomm official, Microsoft, PCworld, etc., the Windows 10 notebook equipped with the Snapdragon 835 has a battery life of about 1 day in the case of continuous 4G. Moreover, the integration of the ARM processor is higher, no need to plug in the baseband, the body can be made thinner, or leave room for the manufacturer to freely play. For consumers who are looking for lightness and endurance, the Xiaolong notebook is no better.

In addition, "Always Connected PC" sounds like a very attractive selling point. After all, when there is no network, the practical value of notebooks and tablets is greatly reduced, especially for business people. Most of today's laptop devices can only be connected to Wi-Fi, and mobility and usage scenarios are very limited compared to mobile phones. It can be connected at any time like a mobile phone, and it can be opened at any time like a smart phone. This has become the most urgent demand for notebook products. We know that a very important feature of mobile phones is global roaming. Now, mobile PCs equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon platform are also given this function. The Snapdragon Full Netcom technology used by the Snapdragon 835 includes support for the full range of frequencies, including all major cellular technologies (LTE FDD, LTE TDD, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, EV-DO, CDMA1x and GSM/EDGE). All 3GPP frequency bands and carrier aggregation bands are combined. This means that any mobile PC that is manufactured by the manufacturer using the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform has the ability to connect to networks around the world, which undoubtedly greatly increases the competitiveness of its products and also the global layout of its products. It’s convenient. With Qualcomm's blessing, in the future 5G era, notebooks that can be connected anytime and anywhere, especially tablet PC combo products, will increasingly enter consumers' daily lives.

With the transformation and development of technology, we have seen that the boundaries between industries are becoming more and more blurred, and mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablets and notebooks are becoming more and more integrated and unified.骁龙本 is very flexible and connected, it is suitable for mobile work, handling light business work. Through the solution of the extreme pain points and the "always connected" selling point, Xiaolong has brought some reforms and innovations to our notebook products.

In the future, when the era of the Internet of Everything really comes, we can’t imagine how earth-shaking changes will be in life at that time. But one thing is certain: in that era, in the "configuration parameters" of various hardware devices, we can still see the name of "Qualcomm Dragon".
