https://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-signs-on-for-windows-on-snapdragon-850-laptop/ > Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 850 platform was announced at Computex 2018, along with the news that Samsung is the latest partner to plan a device around it. Devices based on the 850  should ship in time for your holiday purchasing pleasure, according to Qualcomm. > Whether you call them by their marketing moniker, "always-connected computers," or their more technical description of "Windows on Arm," Qualcomm wants its processor to beat as its heart. The first generation of laptops built on its Snapdragon 835 -- the Asus NovaGo and the Lenovo Miix 630, for example  -- had a pretty faint pulse, despite showing some early promise. Now the company is hoping to change that image with the Snapdragon 850, essentially the same processor as the 845 that's in flagship phones like the Samsung Galaxy S9 series, OnePlus 6 and LG G7 ThinQ, but with a slightly faster clock speed.
