Qualcomm To Stream Its Latest Snapdragon Tech Summit Keynote On December 5 (1:30PM EST)

In case it hasn’t been obvious enough, Qualcomm has been on a bit of a tear this year. Weeks ago, the company unveiled its much-anticipated Centriq 2400 series server processors – a launch that has to have Intel just a little bit worried. The company’s also had a big year in VR, having revealed its future plans to merge AR and VR into one, while also being responsible for helping more standalone VR headsets get to market.

That’s just scratching the surface, and given the ultra-competitive landscape we’re currently witnessing, the company has no plans to rest on its laurels. Next week, on December 5, Qualcomm will host its Snapdragon Technology Summit keynote, where the company will show off what’s coming to the world’s most popular mobile SoC series. The company writes:

This year’s Snapdragon Technology Summit will feature an inside look at the latest innovations built into Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile Platforms, along with demonstrations that exhibit upcoming technologies and advancements that will continue to shape the way we use mobile devices, always connected PCs and other future technologies.

I’ll be at this event in person, but don’t fret if you’re not able to be: Qualcomm is going to be streaming the keynote portion of the event for the world to see. Official broadcast time is 8:30AM HAST (1:30PM EST, 10:30AM PST), and will be viewable from Qualcomm’s website. If you’d rather monitor its start time on Twitter, you can follow the company right here.

Given the schedule for the event, it looks like Qualcomm has an unbelievable amount of tech to talk about, but one thing in particular I’m looking forward to learning more about are the ultra-portable Snapdragon-powered notebooks the company really pushed hard this past summer. The rumormill currently shows that the next Microsoft Surface could include a Snapdragon 845 processor, so the hype is real. It goes without saying that the same chip will find its way into many other devices as well, but who doesn’t want a lightweight notebook that lasts all day and delivers enough performance to not impede your workflow?

Next week’s keynote is going to be very interesting, so stay tuned.
