Earlier this week, Microsoft announced their partnership with Qualcomm. Their aim is to bring full 32-bit Win32 compatibility to ARM devices that run Windows 10 by next year. This will allow Microsoft to attain cross-platform compatibility.
According to a report published by Extreme Tech, the companies are planning on launching new devices that will essentially be based on an “unspecified” Qualcomm hardware by the end of 2017. These devices will be designed in a way that are compatible with both, ARM and 32-bit Win32 applications via emulation. Moreover, x86 applications are also expected to be supported.
Microsoft is calling these systems “cellular PCs,” the report further added.
