Recently, Qualcomm entered the market for computer chipsets. The chipsets they have released, nevertheless, aren’t groundbreaking because they are still in the early phases. The majority of their chips reuses the design from their SoCs intended for smartphones. Regardless, we are now hearing that the company is finally getting ready for some robust desktop CPUs. Additionally, the launch will happen in the upcoming years.

A new report hovering around the internet claims that the upcoming desktop chipset coming from Qualcomm will be codenamed “Hamoa”. Further, it has been said that it will be a 12-core CPU in a core architecture of 8+4. The first eight cores will be performance cores, while the remaining four will be power-saving cores. According to the source, the CPU will also support separate graphics cards.

Qualcomm will use Nuvia’s Phoenix core design in its next chipset. It’s worth noting that it was developed by former Apple engineers who worked on the company’s current ARM-based CPUs. A new core design claims a performance boost of 50 to 100% over the 5-watt per core limit. The claims are based on a report published in 2020. Qualcomm just acquired the Nuvia startup, so it’s not surprising that the company will use its new architecture.

Based on the information available, the future chipset appears to be promising and powerful. Let’s see how Qualcomm’s new ARM-based desktop CPU performs. The CPU is planned to be released in the year 2024. So it is a long wait.
