Building on its development of LTE for what it calls the “always-connected” PC, this week in Taipei, Taiwan, at the annual Computex exhibition, Qualcomm and OEM partner Lenovo unveiled a prototype 5G-connected 2-in-1 PC, which uses Qualcomm’s 8cx 5G Compute Platform.
Qualcomm initially showed-off the 7-nanometer 8cx in December at its Snapdragon Technology Summit in Maui. The 8cx platform features the Cat 22 Snapdragon X55 modem, which can support 5G at millimeter wave and sub-6 GHz frequencies, with peak download speeds of 7 Gbps and peak upload speeds of 3 Gbps.
