Microsoft has built a custom 7nm SQ1 processor with Qualcomm, and it's focused on improving both the CPU and GPU power over a regular Snapdragon 8cx. "Microsoft SQ1 brings the best CPU performance for Windows on Snapdragon devices," reveals Davuluri. "It's an octa-core processor, and it has the first and fastest ever Kryo CPU at 3GHz.
The GPU performance itself is 2.1 teraflops, which is surprisingly good for this type of thin-and-light device.
"We've redesigned the entire platform to perform at 7 watts, with scalable bust performance up to 15 watts."
