How Qualcomm Plans To Keep Growing, With Or Without Apple
Переглядів 454,591
День томуQualcomm long reigned as the world’s biggest fabless chip company, pioneering the cellular age and making the modems inside nearly every smartphone today. But ChatGPT sent Nvidia’s revenue soaring past Qualcomm’s this month, and Apple is working on its own modems for iPhones after 2024. Now Qualcomm is diversifying into smart cars, chips for VR headsets, and powering generative AI off the cloud. We got an inside look at Qualcomm’s chip lab in San Diego, and its plans to hold on to wireless dominance.

How Qualcomm Plans To Keep Growing, With Or Without Apple

Yeah I own 100 shares just for fun, but doubt they have what it takes going forward. Seems like the are going the way of Rambus, with a lot of patents in their portfolio but not much to show for it. CDMA was cool however, and groundbreaking, as the video says.

I see Qualcomm as Texas Instruments a few years ago. For some time, they were at the fore front of technology, and everyone knew them and their products. After some shifts in the market, the brand was no longer at the fore front, but still quite relevant, and still quite present inside the products we use daily.

5:54 he explains the problem here. Qualcomm’s product is an SoC that is sold to other big businesses for use in their end user products. It doesn’t have the brand value that BMW, Samsung have even though they own the design patents that those companies rely on for their products. Nvidia and Intel on the other hand have built brand reputation directly with consumers for years. Their sticker is always on the laptop for example. Qualcomm is a hidden background player that people don’t know about.

I don't know if they legally can, the Adreno line of GPUs is derived from AMD's Radeon GPU IP. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a clause in that contract restricting them from releasing standalone GPUs. Even if they create their own GPUs from the ground up they would have to prove that they didn't use what they learned from using Radeon's IP to create their own GPU IP.

Not many companies in the world have the expertise in chip design and QCOM is one of top 3 in the world. Combined with their knowledge in networking, they are in a very rare position to benefit from AI in combination with all their expertise. This company stock will not stay this cheap for much longer. Once the apple revenues clear the pipes and investors see where the new streams of revenue will come from this will take off with no end in sight for at least 5-8 years.

The timing of this video and the tone of this video being more like a Qualcomm ad is an eerie coincidence. Qualcomm is being let down by Apple on one side and Huawei on the other side. Combined together they are looking at upwards of 20% revenue decline. This video subtly brushed this major point aside as “we don’t get hit by that much”. Dear CNBC, was this video paid for or sponsored by Qualcomm in any direct/indirect way? If so, the viewers need to know.

That's not really true anymore. It's 10 years the only innovation they brought to the table was anti-consumer stuff, while the good stuff was brought out by Android phone manufacturers (Samsung, Chinese brands, etc) and then copied and almost always actually perfected by Apple. The last 10 years have seen "Android innovates, Apple does it right". Lately, it's "Android innovates AND makes it right, Apple copies it sometimes badly and closes it down". Also note that Apple always has a monopoly on the latest production nodes, despite having nothing to do with its development. So, Qualcomm and other manufacturers actually manage to match it with weaker nodes that are less powerful and less efficient.

@@BusterDarcy they didn't, the M2 is a powerful CPU but price to performance is worse than x64 chips. And peak performance is lower than peak x64 performance. An i9 or R9 laptop's CPU is more powerful than a M2 Ultra, a 4080 has better GPU performance. And they cost similarly. What Apple does great is achieving similar performance to those listed components using a fraction of the power. A R9/i9 4080, 4090 laptop will NOT last 20 hours of even light use, while the M2 macs will. The mac pro is behind even midrange desktop components. Which is why the Mac Pro is absurd.

What may end Qualcomm's reign is the possibility the US Federal Trade Commission looking into whether Qualcomm are using their patents on 5G modem design to keep out competitors. The issue of using patents to keep out competitors is not a new one, as the famous _U.S. v United Shoe Machinery Company_ case from the 1940's showed. To keep the Feds off their backs, Qualcomm may have to allow more competitors in the 5G modem market if Qualcomm wants to enter other lucrative markets such ard artificial intelligence hardware.
