Kryo 385 at 2.95 GHz later this year

Qualcomm started the always connected PC offensive quite some time ago and Microsoft has included an ARM based system in its big April Spring update for Windows 10. Now it is time for the second generation Snapdragon 850 systems.

To avoid any confusion, the 850 chip is very similar to the Snapdragon 845 in phones but the notebook / tablet version has significantly higher TDP and clocks. The phone usually stays within 2.5W TDP while the laptop has the luxury to have TDPs as high as 5W.

Back in December, Cristiano Amon confirmed to Fudzilla and a few others that Snapdragon for always connected PC has a roadmap of more devices to come. Back then he pre-announced that they will be a follow on to the Snapdragon 835 first generation devices.

Fudzilla had a chance to play with the Asus NovaGo based on the Snapdragon 835 and we generally had good first impressions.

We did realize that this is a multiyear commission that will likely get better with every iteration.
