Snapdragons ad Desktop CPU

[Himommies]

SO you know how some LGA 2011-3 boards support 2 Cpus and some phones like that hp one can run windows so theroetically if you put 20 snapdragon 821s together and tried to run windows 10 on that would that work

Am I the only one that's not following this? So... You're trying to put 20 mobile cpu together and run windows 10? Well... why not just use one?

You could stream it to your phone... But I wouldn't consider using the phone to run crysis.

No like kinda putting hundreds of  821s on a server rack and since there tiny i bet a single server rack could hold hundreds

It would work like putting a dual-socket, Bulldozer-era Opteron system: a gazillion super-weak cores.
Great server, forget about Crysis.

 

Edit: I said dual-core? You can go up to 4 Opteron 6276!

No. Windows 10 Desktop only supports x86 (sometimes called ia32) and x86-64 (sometimes called amd64)  architectures. Windows 10 Mobile supports ARM 32 Bit (64 Bit support is expected in 2017) and x86 (32 bit only).

 

The HP Elite X3 runs Windows 10 Mobile. While a PC running Windows 10 Desktop and the Elite X3 runs Windows 10 Mobile, both run the same or similar kernel and have numerous similarities. They are different in architecture support and GUI.  It would be impossible to run Windows 10 Desktop on a Snapdragon 820.

 

If you were so inclined, you could make a Snapdragon powered Chromebook competitor running Windows 10 Mobile (which is rumored to happen in the future).
