Qualcomm testing its answer to Apple’s M-series chips

Qualcomm has been desperate to bring an ARM-based chip for Windows PCs to compete with Apple’s M-series chips. Earlier this year, the chipmaker announced a new brand, “Oryon,” a lineup of new CPUs meant for more powerful devices, made by Nuvia, a team of ex-Apple chip designers Qualcomm acquired last year, who happened to work on the M-series chip.

Now, Winfuture.de reveals some new information about Qualcomm’s upcoming ARM chip for PCs, codenamed “hamosa.” The report reiterates that the “hamosa” would come with 12 cores, four being low-power efficiency and eight high-performance cores. However, the clock speeds of these cores are unknown as of now.
