In a surprise appearance at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Technology Summit, AMD showed up to announce that it will be rolling out a line of products utilizing a Gigabit LTE modem by Snapdragon on the Ryzen Mobility platform. This is a very interesting update from AMD and showcases that it is going all out on seeding its brand new x86 ecosystem as far as humanly possible – and for all intents and purposes, succeeding at it.

There seems to be quite a lot of confusion surrounding the announcement and I have sen very big names mixing up the details with the previously released Snapdragon 845 powered PCs. As the name Ryzen Mobility suggests, these devices will not be the same as the Snapdragon 845 powered ones – that’s a completely seperate announcement although one just as major (probably even more so). While the Snapdragon 845 powered PCs represent the first ever Windows 10 on ARM initiative, the LTE modem on x86 tables has been done before (notably by Intel).
