Windows 10: Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 850 for Always Connected Windows 10 PCs

The previous generation Always Connected PCs were powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor, and as expected the next-generation lineup will be powered by the all-new chipset, Snapdragon 850. Today at Computex, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 850 Mobile Compute Platform for Always Connected PCs.

Qualcomm says that Snapdragon 850 Mobile Compute Platform promises a 30% boost in performance, and it’ll power the next-generation Always Connected PCs. The chipset is designed to offer 20% better battery life than the successor and it also improves the LTE speed by 20%.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 is for Windows 10-powered PCs only, and it won’t power the Android. Interestingly, the processor is based on Snapdragon 845.

The new processor can be clocked at up to 2.96GHz, and it also supports Adreno 630 GPU. The devices powered by this processor will offer HEVC video encoding of 1080p video up to 120fps and 4K UHD video playback.

Snapdragon 850 offers up to 1.2Gbps LTE download speeds, thanks to the Snapdragon X20 4G LTE modem. It comes with 802.11ad Multi-gigabit, a WiFi technology, and it supports 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 60GHz bands. Qualcomm has also included the Spectra 280 Image Signal Processor but it only supports 4K video recording at 30fps.

“Building on the portfolio of Always On, Always Connected PCs established over the past year, we are thrilled to work with Samsung to help offer consumers true mobility combined with the productivity and entertainment features of Windows 10,” said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president and general manager, mobile business unit, Qualcomm.

“To truly expand this category, our work with mobile leaders like Samsung is important to help us deliver the next generation of Always On, Always Connected PCs to consumers.”

“At Samsung, we understand the unique needs of our consumers and aim to create new innovations to support their ‘on-the-go’ lifestyle,” said Kyungsik Choi, executive vice president and head of strategic marketing office, mobile communications business, Samsung Electronics.

“This collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies and their Snapdragon 850 Mobile Compute Platform will allow us to provide always on, always connected mobile computing experiences for our customers.”

WP8.1 Update 1 : Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 support

Hi

I read that the following feature is included in WP8.1 Update 1 :

Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 support for Snapdragon 800 processors.

My Lumia 925 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon™ S4 processor (if I am not mistaking).

Is this the right one ?

Should my phone charge faster now ?

Thanks
