genuinely, what is the survival story for qualcomm entering the next decade?

- completely missed out on AI

- phones become commodity, push for complete vertical integration from apple, google

- squeezed by chinese soc vendors from 'below' (mediatek, unisoc)

they're cooked, right? there's no way out, surely.

Yeah, it might as well say “Oracle to acquire $FOO”

Could be worse. Could be Broadcom.

You should feel dread. They're a pretty awful company... one of those outfits that seems to employ more lawyers than engineers. Basically the Oracle of chips.

I can't begin to guess what motivated them to engage in an intentional culture clash of this magnitude.

If you want to use SOTA camera sensors on an embedded system Qualcomm is great (in particular compared to NVIDA Jetson).

"Broadcom to acquire Qualcomm"

Better? :)
