Qualcomm and Microsoft have joined forces for what seems to be a really big win for the tech giant, as it continues efforts to bring more Windows RT devices to the market.

Qualcomm will thus provide its high-end Snapdragon quad-core processor for future Windows RT tablets, promising to offer increasing battery life with superior performance.

The processor features integrated multimode 3G/4G LTE modem and CPU speeds of up to 2.2 GHz per core, while other capabilities include USB 3.0 support and compatibility with Windows RT 8.1 tools, the company said in a press release.

“The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processors support our commitment to providing our customers with best-in-class capabilities. Our customers will now have the opportunity to leverage the numerous advantages of these new processors, including integrated 4G/LTE connectivity and outstanding device performance,” said Mike Anguilo, corporate vice president, Planning and PC Ecosystem, Microsoft.
