Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8180 for Windows 10 on ARM flexes on Geekbench

While the Snapdragon 850 processor for Windows 10 on ARM devices debuted at IFA 2018 with the Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS, we’re already hearing about a successor from manufacturer Qualcomm in the Snapdragon 8180, previously referred to as Snapdragon 1000.

A processor going by the aforementioned new name has appeared on publicly listed Geekbench 4 test result postings, first caught by WinFuture. The German technology news outlet suspects that the processor is early in development, judging by information on the Geekbench 4 results page.

Specifically, the processor was clearly being tested on a 32-bit version of Windows 10, but will be expected to run on the 64-bit version of the operating system when it launches. Not much more can be confidently sussed out from these benchmarks that wasn’t already known or expected from the processor based on previous leaks, but it does put the possible power profile of the chip into perspective.

Windows 10 on ARM goes bigger

This Snapdragon 8180 processor is widely expected to be based upon processor-maker ARM’s latest Cortex A76 cores, and run on up to 15 watts (W) of power. With 9W more power available to it than the Snapdragon 835 or 850 available now in Windows 10 devices, it’s no surprise that these numbers show a 50% gain in performance over the Snapdragon 835.

This is promising news for Qualcomm’s presence on Windows, because a lack of power for the price was the most common complaint among reviews of the first laptops running on the Snapdragon 835. However, what will this increase in power draw mean for the strongest claim Qualcomm’s laptops hold: incredible battery life?

With Snapdragon 850 not even available in a Windows 10 laptop at the time of writing, we’re likely several months off from a public Snapdragon 8180 release. Judging by these new details, there could be life in Qualcomm’s plans for Windows domination yet.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
