Microsoft with Qualcomm snapdragon 835

Microsoft Qualcomm's ARM-Powered Windows 10 Laptops

 Microsoft with Qualcomm announced last year that they will get support for integrated ARM chipsets, Snapdragon SoCs. While the companies said that the first PCs with ARM chipsets will be coming in 2017, there was never a specific timeline mentioned for the launch. Now, Qualcomm has revealed that the first such laptops will be launched in fourth quarter this year.

Qualcomm in its latest investor call, announced that the first cellular laptop with Windows 10 and company's Snapdragon 835 SoC will be coming by the end of this year.
Steve Mollenkopf, CEO of Qualcomm said that Snapdragon 835 processor is expanding into mobile PC designs that run Windows 10 and is scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter as per a Transcript of the earnings call. 
As Windows 10 devices currently only run on x86 chipsets from INTEL or AMD these will be the first devices to run Windows 10 that don't have a processor with x86 architecture. 

Terry Myerson Executive Vice President of the Windows and Devices Group at Microsoft confirmed last year that the initial focus would be on laptops but the company has envisioned a vast ecosystem of Windows 10 ARM devices.
"We're thinking about platform that supports small screens large screens devices with no screens at all head-mounted displays and so what can these device makers build will really be up to them" Myerson said at the time.
Earlier this month the Redmond-based company said that it is working with Qualcomm and Cavium to bring support for ARM chips to Windows Server OS. The server used in the demo ran on Qualcomm's 10nm Centriq 2400 and Cavium's flagship second generation 64-bit ThunderX2 ARMv8-A server processor- both especially designed ARM-based chips meant for cloud servers.

Qualcomm is a chipset provider. A potential success of 5G will certainly add new revenue streams for them. It is quite normal that mobile technology vendors not only them but also Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei etc. will want to showcase the possibilities with 5G and convince if possible the operators and consumers that there will be a revolution in this area.
I personally think that the 5G is currently being considered as a “revolutionary new technology” without fully identifying why and predictions about the 5G networks future are rather optimistic. It will not only require operators to invest as they have never done before but also the subscribers to significantly increase their spending. Achieving the massive machine connectivity, sub millisecond latency and huge increase in capacity and capability will certainly require a complete transformation in radio technology and the standards.
There are indeed many many super exciting 5G business models out there but most of them require a certain collaboration of companies like Qualcomm with different sectors and regulatory bodies in the pilot projects and trials. The success of this collaboration in my opinions is going to be key in the deployment of the phenomenon like massive IoT deployments, super low latency communications and ultra broadband cases.
Only this way, 5G will be the “revolutionary new technology” bringing disruptive change in societies such as a better technology experience and improved safety in our lives. Otherwise, current predictions on “what 5G will deliver” may utopian.

Flying taxi : Who is partner of uber in project?

Partner of UBER in project of flying taxi Uber sees no need for startups to bet on a risky “if you build it, they will come” strategy for flying taxis. Instead, the tech giant believes the demand for a faster aerial commuting option already exists among its 60 million monthly users–especially if the flying taxi service can cost about the same as hailing an UberX car. As a result, Uber has partnered with several companies to help build a “flying car” service that could begin public trials in the city of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates by 2020. The announcement for the ambitious 2020 goal kicked off the start of the Uber elevate summit being held in Dallas from April 25-27. Besides naming partner cities, Jeff Holden, Chief Product Officer at Uber, introduced the companies partnering with Uber to make those early demonstrations of the “Uber Elevate Network” happen within three years. Such partners include one of the U.S. makers of the military’s t

Qualcomm snapdragon 845

Qualcomm & Samsung working on Snapdragon 845, to debut in Galaxy S9 Samsung Galaxy s8 and s8+ just launched but that isn’t stopping Samsung from already working on the Galaxy S9. Well, at least one component for it. According to a recent report, Samsung and Qualcomm have started work on next year’s Snapdragon 845 chipset, which will make its debut in the Galaxy S9. Qualcomm’s next-gen chipset will very likely be called the Snapdragon 845, even though that is subject to change. Once development has completed, either Samsung or TSMC will begin manufacturing the chipset. It’s unclear where Qualcomm hopes to improve on this upcoming chipset compared to the current Snapdragon 835. However, it’s likely that the company will continue to focus on extracting more performance as well as making everything more efficient, leading to better battery life. It’s also possible that the 845 could include some enhancements for VR and AR. Even though Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy S8, the
