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.

so/so
On other hand it is not where ARM architecture shine...
And where it shine there is already plenty of OSes that already can communicate with Windows if you need it.

But to my understanding ARM processor can`t execute x86 code. So the phrase "Snapdragon 835 isn't performing well good with x86 programs" puzzles me.

Snapdragon is made to be low powered, which correct me if I'm wrong but it does great at that compared to the Celeron?
One thing that I find impressive, is whatever Microsoft has made to run x86 apps on ARM it shows pretty decent results, and apps are actually more than usable! I would love to see this done on say Tegra x1? Or heck, even the Snapdragon 945.
On another note, the Snapdragon 835 can play Rocket League! I mean, not the greatest settings but it can play it!

It looks a lot like MS has optimized heavily in Edge and their own software to get this off the ground.
Photoshop though, that is terrible.
Wasn't Adobe Creative Suite one of the Poster childs of this Windows on ARM project ?
Way too expensive for what it is.
