Windows 10 arrives on the processors Qualcomm ARM in 2017. And this augurs an interesting time for Microsoft, the manufacturers and the buyers. The first information give us glimpses of what Microsoft actually has in mind. The blog post announcing the new, three sentences particularly occupy our attention.
- PC-energy-efficient : It is a promise to be a double-edged sword. It is not merely the energy consumption of the machines. Microsoft evokes here the machines are laptops and not desktop pcs, and it is the lower range in terms of performance. To compare with Intel, it is a question here of performance comparable to the processors Atom, and not the Core i7 high-end. A better comparison might be to see this announcement as a replacement of the Surface pro 3, not the Surface pro 4.
– mobile Networks : The term comes back repeatedly in the ad and that is significant. Wi-fi and Ethernet are now the main ways to connect Windows to the Internet. But it is a bit outdated and impractical if we compare it to the freedom conferred by the mobile networks. Microsoft wants to change that
- eSIM Technology : Forget the SIM cards, Microsoft, is interested in the eSIM. This simplifies life for the users, who can choose the network and the operator the most interesting, but it also makes it easier for manufacturers and OEMS.
here We see Microsoft innovate and try to change what we designate under the term of PC. But as for the Surface Studio, Microsoft advance at a measured pace, so as not to frighten or lose the market. It is much more innovative than the Touch Bar and the mantra of “ever-more-end” that is found in Apple. We are in front of a real PC in the Twenty first.
According to my colleague Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft intends to offer Windows 10 to oems on a wide variety of screen sizes, 6-inch to 14-inch through 10-inch. This gives a new idea of the type of system that is here referred to by Microsoft. In normal times, the machines 14 inches are the barrier between the computers and high-performance computers to use multiple. Here we find the logic of “pc-friendly” announced earlier.
Microsoft has released a video of Windows 10 running on a processor, four-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. This model is clocked to 1.59 GHz and the interface seems to be fluid. And Some aspects of the video deserve to be highlighted.
first of All, here is the performance of the system
This screenshot shows the computer connecting to the domain controller, a feature key to the business
Here you can see the performance at the launch of Microsoft Edge
And here when using Photoshop CC
Although it can be used for multiple uses, the Qualcomm 820 Silicon seems to be able to manage the basic features of Photoshop. However, note that it is a simple filter applied to a PNG file, which does not demand a lot of power.)
Three factors will determine the success of this initiative,
1 – After the debacle of Windows RT and the many false starts as the project is known, Microsoft will he be able to convince the OEM of the track ?
2 – Is that Microsoft and the manufacturers will make the public understand the benefits and shortcomings of this Windows 10 with Qualcomm ? I already have the feeling that Microsoft is touting the performance of Photoshop is an error, these systems must be proven and not position themselves as replacements for a PC.
3 – Is it that consumers daigneront looking up from their smartphones and tablets ?
