Friends, do you know how Win11 supports Qualcomm processors? So today the editor will explain the relevant introduction of Win11 supporting Qualcomm processors. If you are interested, come and take a look with the editor. I hope it can help everyone.

Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU supports Microsoft Win11 system

Qualcomm China’s official Weibo announced on the 26th that Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c, 8c, and 8cx 2nd generation computing platforms all support the new Win11 operating system.

​​​

Win11 devices equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM processors will be able to directly run Android App, Windows ARM The device is also expected to get rid of the embarrassing situation of poor application compatibility and low market share.

​​​

In addition, Qualcomm’s third-generation Snapdragon 8cx (SC8280) has recently appeared on the benchmark platform Geekbench. Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 has 8-core specifications and 2.7GHz. Single core running score 982 points, multi-core 4918 points. Compared with the single-core score of 800 and the multi-core score of 3000, the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 has a huge improvement, with a multi-core improvement of 63%.

​​​

It is believed that Qualcomm Snapdragon’s rights support for win11 will pose a certain threat to Apple’s ARM processor computers, but judging from the running scores, there is still a big difference with the M1 chip developed by Apple.

What should I do if I want to open up the connection between mobile phones and computers at this stage? The editor recommends using remote control software. The domestic remote control ToDesk can achieve a seamless connection between mobile phones and computers, and you can do it on your mobile phone. It is very convenient to control the computer and use the touch screen operation.

​​​

The current remote control software is very complete. When a mobile phone is connected to a mouse and keyboard, it becomes a "small computer". What are your expectations for future office work? Let us wait and see whether mobile office work will become mainstream in the future.

The biggest advantage of using Windows 11 with a Qualcomm processor is battery usage. ARM devices use less power and therefore last longer on a single charge.

​ ​ You get up to 20+ hours of video playback, and the battery lasts up to several days on a single charge with moderate use.

Since ARM processors use less power, they also generate less heat, which means your PC will stay cooler.

​​​​​​​​​​As a result, laptops using them do not require active cooling, allowing manufacturers to create devices that are stylish, quiet, and lightweight.

​ ​ These CPUs also have built-in Adreno GPUs and support lightning-fast 4G LTE and 5G connections, allowing you to reach speeds of up to 2Gbps on 4G and 5G on 5G. up to 7Gbps.

As for flaws, we have to say that our concerns are with app support and performance. Qualcomm says the vast majority of apps will work on Windows 11 running on ARM processors run on the device.

​ ​ This includes popular web browsers and collaboration tools such as Zoom, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. If you're not familiar with it, we've provided information on how to An in-depth guide to using Microsoft Teams on Windows 11.

Other applications include Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music and social media apps.

The question remains how other applications (especially 64-bit applications) will work and whether there will be any significant performance issues and slowdowns, especially when using emulation.

​​ ARM processors offer lower performance than some entry-level laptop CPUs, so if you're looking to get a PC with high-end performance, these types of devices may not be for you.

What is the difference between ARM and x86/x64 processors?

Qualcomm processors are ARM devices and they are based on the RISC architecture. On the other hand, x86/x64 CPUs are using CISC.

​​ RISC has fewer than 100 instructions, using a 32-bit instruction format, as well as simple addressing modes and register-based instructions.

This architecture uses more lines of code because it executes only one instruction per clock cycle, which is why ARM processors use less power, making them ideal for smartphone devices.

​​​​ CISC processors, on the other hand, have 120 to 350 instructions, which use variable instruction and data formats, and approximately 8 to 24 general-purpose registers.

This allows your CPU to execute one complex instruction rather than multiple simple instructions like a RISC processor.

​ ​ ​ Therefore, x64/x86 processors are used in devices that need to perform complex tasks, such as laptops and desktop computers.

​​​​ These devices provide high performance, but they require more cooling and more power, while ARM CPUs use less power and provide lower performance.

​ ​ We’re excited about Windows 11 and Qualcomm CPU support, and we can’t wait to see how it works, but we’re still a little worried about ARM How the device will handle x64 software.

The above is all the content brought to you by the editor about how Win11 supports Qualcomm processors. I hope it can help you.
