The Oryon brand is a new sub brand for the Snapdragon family of products. The new processor will be available to be used in devices such as Windows PCs, and other applications. The company did not provide any details about the new processor at the summit.
For the past few years, the company has made chips for Windows and Chrome OS, but has had a hard time getting them into a lot of Windows devices. Premium ultraportable computers that appeal to a specific subset of PC buyers, but not the broader market, have been the few that have used Arm chips.
The main reason that Windows on Arm devices haven't taken off is due to the fact that the Snapdragon line has been behind Apple's Arm-based M processor. The issues stem from the fact that Windows on Arm doesn't offer many apps that are specifically designed for the platform. The Surface Pro 9 falls far behind the Intel-equipped version due to these app issues.
According to the press release, the next generation of chips for Windows computers will have better performance than its current crop. It is unlikely to move the needle unless the platform matures more and gets more support.
