Microsoft plans to bring native 64-bit apps to Qualcomm-powered PCs, but it'll take time |

Windows PCs that use the battery-sipping Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM processor are just beginning to roll out, but they include some major caveats.

It’s unclear when the preview version of the SDK will be released, when a final version will debut, or when apps based upon it will roll out to end users.“We will be sharing more details on the ARM64 SDK Preview at Build,” a Microsoft representative said in a statement. “Applications that are 64-bit only typically want to run natively for performance reasons. As a result we decided to focus our engineering investments on the native ARM64 SDK to enable developers to natively write their application for the device.”To read this article in full, please click here
