What advantage do you have that developers at Adobe, Cisco, Citrix, Microsoft, and Sophos didn’t have when they were porting their apps to native Arm on Windows?
Qualcomm says the Snapdragon Developer Kit for Windows is ready and can be ordered currently in the US from the Microsoft Store.
Test Windows apps on ARM with the Snapdragon Developer Kit for Windows
“The kit is the fruit of our collaboration with Microsoft in blending the ubiquity and enterprise-readiness of Windows with the heterogeneous computing and low power requirements of Snapdragon. It is designed to make it easier for you to run and test the applications you port to ARM32 and ARM64, or partial ports with Windows 11 and ARM64EC,” according to Qualcomm.
Cyber Era NG understands that the kit is built around the Snapdragon® 7c compute platform in a mini-PC form factor. Inside the Snapdragon 7c are the Qualcomm® Kryo™ 468 CPU, the Qualcomm® Adreno™ GPU 618 and the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ DSP 692. The cores support both the desktop and mobile computing capabilities you might expect only in high-end devices — capabilities like AI/machine learning, advanced audio, security and 4K video capture/playback.
Windows on Snapdragon developer resources
With 4GB of LPDDR4 memory and 64GB of eMMC storage, the Snapdragon Developer Kit is designed for native testing and validation of application code on ARM. It ships with Windows 10 and is upgradeable to Windows 11.
