Native Support for the Arm Instruction Set: An Incentive for Professional Content Creators
Supporting the Arm instruction set in professional software is a significant step in attracting professional content creators. The announcement of the native version of the Arm instruction set by DaVinci Resolve holds great importance for Qualcomm Snapdragon.
During the conversion process, a portion of the performance may be sacrificed, resulting in an unsatisfactory user experience. While this may not be acceptable to Qualcomm and Microsoft, software developers are already prepared to launch native applications of the Windows on Arm instruction set. Moreover, Apple’s complete transition to the Arm architecture serves as encouragement for professional software developers to invest in supporting the Arm instruction set architecture. It is reported that Snapdragon X Elite outperforms a 12-core x86 mobile processor in DaVinci Resolve by 1.7 times.
Challenges for Qualcomm Snapdragon in 2024
However, the main obstacle for Qualcomm Snapdragon in 2024 lies in meeting the demand. Inadequate supply will inevitably lead to high prices for terminal devices. The success of Windows laptops based on Snapdragon readiness will depend on Microsoft and Qualcomm’s ability to address previous user experience, ecology, and resource issues associated with Windows on Snapdragon. Overcoming these challenges will be crucial, especially considering the severity of the current situation.
Black Magic announced at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit v2023 that its well-known professional video editing software DaVinci Resolve will launch a native version of the Windows on Arm instruction set in 2024, and emphasized that it will work with Qualcomm to optimize the Snapdragon X Elite architecture , featuring Qualcomm AIE Enhanced AI acceleration, using Snapdragon X Elite’s outstanding heterogeneous computing capabilities to provide professional audio and video users with a smooth and fast professional content creation experience.
▲ Providing native support for the Arm instruction set in professional software is a very important incentive to attract professional content creators
DaVince Resolve’s announcement of the native version of the Arm instruction set is a very important announcement for Qualcomm Snapdragon During the conversion process, part of the performance will be sacrificed, resulting in a poor user experience. Although it may not this is acceptable to Qualcomm and Microsoft, the current software developers are ready to launch native applications of the Windows on Arm instruction set. The biggest key is that Apple will have completely moved to the Arm architecture, encouraging professional software developers to invest as well in support for the Arm instruction set architecture. Snapdragon X Elite is said to perform DaVinci Resolve 1.7 times better than a 12-core x86 mobile processor.
However, the biggest obstacle to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 2024 Once the general amount is insufficient, it will also lead to high prices for terminal devices. If the price of Windows laptops based on Snapdragon Readiness is not still high, which depends on whether Microsoft and Qualcomm are able to solve many previous Windows on Snapdragon user experience, ecology, and resource issues, even if it seems this time much more serious than before.
