What does a mobile phone need to do to completely replace a PC?

Not long ago, it was rumored that the Snapdragon processor could be installed with the Windows system, which sparked a discussion among many people. Is this going to "kill" the PC market? I believe some people have the same question as me, but to this day, most computer processors are still from Intel and AMD. Even Microsoft's own Surface still uses Intel processors. So what do mobile processors like Snapdragon need to do to completely replace PCs? Let me analyze it for you below.

First of all, in terms of performance , most of the mobile processors on mobile phones currently use the ARM architecture, while desktop PC products use the X86 architecture. In terms of internal structure, the two processors are completely different. The X86 architecture has been developed for many years. In some applications, the system performance is faster than the ARM architecture. The CPU of the X86 processor can currently reach 5.0Ghz, and ARM's current most powerful Snapdragon 855 PLUS does not exceed 3.0Ghz, and the number of cores is also far apart.

The second is the expansion capability . The ARM processor structure connects the processor and storage device through a dedicated data interface. Generally, the storage capacity is fixed and cannot be expanded separately. Therefore, the general ARM system does not consider expansion. It is based on the principle of "enough is enough". However, the x86 architecture processor is connected to the expansion device through a "bridge". Think about your external keyboard, monitor, hard disk, sound card, graphics card and other devices, which can be replaced and installed by yourself. This is something that ARM architecture mobile devices (mobile phones, tablets, etc.) cannot achieve.

The third is the compatibility of the system . Currently, there are only two systems for mobile phones and tablets, Android and Apple. However, in the desktop market of X86 architecture, Microsoft has already "dominated the world". In terms of applications, desktop programs, games, etc. are not a little bit powerful. For example, large-scale 3A games and professional software, etc., all need to be completed on the computer!

Although the market for mobile phones, tablets and other devices is very large, it is still very difficult to compete with the desktop market because computers have the above-mentioned irreplaceable features. If these problems are solved, mobile phones may really be able to replace PCs in the future!
