However, this article isn’t about comparing the two CPU tech giants, but to introduce the new HP lineup.

First of all, it’s important to mention that besides the HEVC support for Ultra HD video streaming and HSA 1.0, the new chips inside some of the EliteBooks feature 4G LTE support thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X5 LTE Advanced technology.
