As the agreement between Qualcomm and Microsoft ends
Laptops with Windows and MediaTek processors may soon appear on the market. Or Exynos.
According to the CEO of Arm, the agreement between Microsoft and Qualcomm will end at the end of this year, according to which Windows Arm PCs can only be based on the Snapdragon SoC. This means that MediaTek, Samsung, Unisoc and others can present their platforms for Windows. It's unclear whether Samsung and Unisoc will get into this game, but MediaTek may well try, given its share of the smartphone market.
True, it is worth saying that at the end of 2021, exactly the same news about the imminent completion of the agreement already appeared, however, it seems that it was extended then, so it is not a fact that it will not be extended again. & nbsp;
Recall that Qualcomm has already introduced the Snapdragon X Elite platform specifically for laptops, which should compete even with the basic Apple M.
