Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 vs. Celeron N3450 Benchmarks With Windows 10
Microsoft announced Windows 10 for ARM in December 2016, now a review of a Windows 2-in-1 unit armed with Snapdragon 835-soc reveals the Snapdragon 835 isn't performing well good with x86 programs, compared to even a Celeron N3450 (entry-level laptops and tablets).
Tests conducted by TechSpot, who posted a review of the HP Envy x2 equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835-soc whos some results with Chrome, Photoshop, Excel, Word, Netflix, Plex, and Steam. A lot of software did not work either.
Synthetic benchmarks that did work showed that PCMark 8, Cinebench R11.5, x264 HD Benchmark 5, Handbrake and Photoshop would not perform better than a laptop with a Celeron N3450. And since there's are always exceptions, WinRAR 5.0, 7-Zip, Excel and 3DMark did perform better. TechSpot does mention that the battery life of the HP Envy x2 is extremely long, however with a 1000 USD price tag, not relevant for the market.

What, so MS decide what runs natively, and what doesn't ?
They must have gimped it somehow.....
No, the developer has to include arm support if they want arm support.

Probably not an executable ARM version for Windows yet. Could possibly release one sooner or later, but this kind of seems like the only product like it...

I would bet that somehow Edge will be the only browser 'optimized' for WinARM, but then again, i'm jaded like that
I really don't see this taking off, Atom chips were supposed to be low power, and actually work really well when configured properly.
(Sort of off topic below):
I just recouped a Acer Aspire E11, dual core atom with N2840. Changed the 2GB of Kingston RAM for 8GB of RAM, and replaced the something-rpm 500GB HDD with a 120GB mSATA SSD (in a 2.5" adaptor) and I am so surprised at how responsive and fast it is.
It seems better than my old Athlon x2 laptop with SSD and 4/8GB RAM.
Will have to run some tests on it to compare it and the WinARM stuff, like PC Mark 8 and such.... I have Win10 installed via USB key, and btw, it still activates for free. No need for a licence.
I did a fresh install of Win10, as it wouldn't let me upgrade. Kept the partition layout though, so the key might be hidden in one of the OEM partitions, but I doubt it.
