A look at how Apple, Qualcomm and MediaTek's 2nm-generation chips approach on-device AI, based on primary sources: running only the needed parts of a 30-billion-parameter model, memory and heat design, and what a 55% gain in generation efficiency does and doesn't mean.
Google says a small number of complex Android apps and games need developer optimization on Intel-powered Googlebooks. Drawing on official developer documentation, we explain CPU-specific code, translation, store distribution, and large-screen support.
Qualcomm and Huawei announced a cross-license covering 5G, AI and more, plus Qualcomm's purchase of some Huawei US patents. We look at past agreements, both companies' patent businesses, and how licensing differs from ownership and chip supply.
TrendForce reports server CPU lead times of 25–30 weeks. Many see Meta's Muse AI agent as a demand driver, but supply constraints predate its launch, and the number of virtual machines doesn't reveal how many physical CPUs are bought.
Qualcomm is reportedly developing a GPU driver to run Windows PC games on Android. We break down the two games shown running on a device, how it differs from Turnip and existing official drivers, and the details still unannounced.
Qualcomm has announced a developer preview of Linux for laptops powered by the Snapdragon X2. This piece separates out the timelines for Debian, Ubuntu, and OEM products, and examines the real-world conditions for use alongside the challenges seen with existing X-series machines.
Qualcomm's new audio platform integrates Wi-Fi 6E and AI processing. What actually changed from the S7 series, how the idea of connecting directly to the cloud developed, and what conditions sit behind the claimed 2x AI performance and 40% power savings, checked against primary sources and on-site reporting.
Qualcomm unveiled two versions of its 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip. The Prime core's 5GHz peak marks only a 5.5% clock increase over the previous generation, with the bulk of claimed gains concentrated in GPU performance and power efficiency. Features like 8K60 recording and GPU super-resolution are exclusive to the higher-end Extreme variant, while APV recording support has disappeared from the standard model's specs.
Technical specifications have emerged for a 2.1D organic bridge jointly developed by Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Qualcomm. By eliminating the silicon interposer and connecting dies directly through organic RDL layers, the companies aim to sidestep Intel's EMIB patent network while cutting packaging costs for AI semiconductors.
Samsung and Qualcomm's 2nm manufacturing talks are reportedly dragging over a price gap. Official earnings and a Broadcom memorandum show why order volume and production schedules may shape the decision.
