Qualcomm and Microsoft have teamed up to improve Windows 10 performance on Snapdragon processor and deliver the Always-connected experience to consumers. This idea is nothing new, Microsoft previously used ARM chipset in Surface RT and the project failed but now it seems the partnership between Microsoft and Qualcomm finally got it right.
Earlier this year, Qualcomm announced Snapdragon 850 processor and promised 30% performance improvements over the predecessor.
At IFA 2018, Lenovo announced the first Windows 10 device with Snapdragon 850 processor on board. The Lenovo Yoga C630 2-in-1 convertible was announced today at IFA and it’s powered by Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system.
The Windows 10 device from Lenovo runs on Snapdragon 850 processor and it offers smartphone-like integrated 4.5G LTE connectivity.
Lenovo claims that the device can offer up to 25+ hours of local video playback on a single charge.

Microsoft is working closely with Qualcomm on the design to adapt the Snapdragon processor to work with Windows 10 without compromising its performance and power optimization. According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 850 processor offer a 30 percent boost in performance and 20 percent better battery life over the 835.
