Snapdragon 5G laptops debut at 2019 Chinajoy

2019 is the first year of 5G commercialization, marking the official entry of 5G into people's lives. In the torrent of 5G, we can see that many terminal equipment brands have released or displayed their 5G products. At the 2019 Chinajoy exhibition that just ended, many 5G mobile phones were unveiled, almost all of which were equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G baseband. At the same time, several 5G notebooks based on Qualcomm Snapdragon platform were unveiled at the exhibition, giving people a refreshing feeling. These fully connected 5G notebooks equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 5G baseband can be turned on and used immediately, and are online in real time, instantly capturing the hearts of everyone.

As we all know, 5G mobile phones are the most mainstream 5G terminals at this stage. With the support of Qualcomm's first-generation 5G baseband Snapdragon X50, the world's first batch of 5G mobile phones have been launched one after another, bringing consumers the most cutting-edge 5G experience. As the world's first baseband product to achieve 5G data connection, Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 has made great contributions to accelerating the pace of global 5G commercialization. Many mobile phone manufacturers can take the lead in calmly deploying the first generation of 5G smartphones, thanks to the help of Qualcomm's Snapdragon X50, a Qualcomm 5G baseband released in 2016, and the Qualcomm 5G mobile phone reference design released at the same time, which saves costs and improves efficiency for terminal equipment manufacturers to develop 5G mobile phones.

At present, Qualcomm has designed more than 30 5G terminals using the Snapdragon 855 + Snapdragon X50 combination, including Xiaomi MIX 3 5G version, OPPO Reno 5G version, OnePlus 7 Pro 5G version, ZTE Axon 10 Pro, Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G Exploration, Samsung Galaxy S10 5G and China Mobile's first self-branded 5G mobile phone Pioneer X1. Many 5G mobile phones have been launched or are about to be launched. At the Chinajoy exhibition, with the help of a number of 5G terminals such as the already released Xiaomi MIX3 5G version and ZTE Axon 10 Pro, Qualcomm has demonstrated the hearty mobile gaming experience under the 5G network. 5G's ultra-low latency and ultra-high transmission rate can provide the most extreme network connection for mobile gaming at this stage.

In terms of the launch of 5G terminal products, although 5G mobile phones started faster than 5G laptops, Qualcomm's 5G Snapdragon laptops have achieved remarkable results thanks to the close cooperation between Qualcomm and PC manufacturers. At the Qualcomm Snapdragon laptop booth at ChinaJoy, Qualcomm and major OEM manufacturers brought a number of Qualcomm Snapdragon laptops based on the Snapdragon 850 mobile computing platform, including new products that will be released soon, including Samsung Galaxy Book 2, Huawei MateBook E, Lenovo YOGA C630, Maibenben Xiaomai X228, and 5G laptop prototypes based on Snapdragon 8cx.

Compared with Intel's x86 processor, the advantage of Snapdragon 850 is its high integration. Its built-in Snapdragon X20 LTE module can bring the fastest 4G download rate of 1.2Gbps and 4G upload rate of 150Mbps, while the built-in Hexagon 685 DSP allows the notebook to receive messages even when it is in sleep mode. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx 5G computing platform, as a new PC chip built by Qualcomm for the next generation of 5G laptop products, has a major highlight in that it uses Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G baseband. This 5G baseband uses an advanced 7nm process technology, and power consumption and heat dissipation have been greatly optimized.

In addition, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G baseband has evolved into a fully independent multi-mode global 5G baseband, supporting three millimeter wave bands of 26GHz, 28GHz, and 39GHz, as well as TDD/FDD dual-mode 5G NR sub-6GHz frequency bands. Snapdragon supports independent (SA) and non-independent (NSA) network deployment, covering the global 5G network, that is, any region, any frequency band, and any network in the world. Moreover, the Snapdragon X55 5G baseband can also cover 2G-5G networks with a single chip, and improve the 4G connection capability to LTE Cat.22, and support eight-carrier aggregation and 256-QAM, achieving the world's first download speed of up to 7Gbps and upload speed of up to 3Gbps, achieving the world's fastest 5G peak download speed. This also means that Qualcomm 5G laptops equipped with Snapdragon X55 not only have the highest connection speed at this stage, but also can support 5G, 4G, 3G, and even 2G networks with a single chip. There is no need to install a 4G modem separately, which greatly reduces the production cost of Qualcomm 5G notebooks and improves the cost performance.

At the ChinaJoy 2019 exhibition, visitors can get up close and personal with Qualcomm 5G notebook products based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx computing platform and Snapdragon X55, and experience the extraordinary experience brought by the all-time online 5G notebook. In the future, Qualcomm 5G Snapdragon notebooks may become an important market category in the PC field. Always online, mobile office, ultra-long battery life and the combination with 5G will make the performance of Snapdragon notebooks more powerful. With the advent of the 5G era, it is believed that Qualcomm will be able to bring users a better 5G experience with its technological accumulation in the 5G field and its early layout of 5G notebook chips.
