With Qualcomm working with Microsoft to get its Snapdragon chips into Windows 10 laptops, there have been rumors that a supercharged processor called the Snapdragon 1000 is on the way to give these devices a serious performance boost.
Thanks to some digging done by WinFuture, we now know (or think we know) a bit more about it: it's going to use a relatively large 20mm x 15mm design (offering room for more cores), and draw a hefty 12W of power. The system-on-a-chip also looks to be using a motherboard socket rather than being directly soldered onto it, though this might only be for internal testing.
