Native apps for Windows on Snapdragon® compute platforms
summary
Native Windows apps compiled to ARM64 run faster and use far less power, enabling multi‑day battery life and longer engagement; developers compile with Visual Studio 2022 or cross‑compile, use ARM64 EC to incrementally move components native, and scale CI on Azure ARM VMs. Qualcomm’s Hexagon NPU runs inference significantly faster per Procyon benchmarks and can execute a ~1B‑parameter Stable Diffusion model locally for on‑device image generation; several ISVs (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, McAfee, VMware) already publish native ARM64 builds.
