Qualcomm JEDEC Mobile Keynote: Memory Bandwidth and Thermal Limits
May 15, 2013
I went to some of the JEDEC mobile conference a couple of weeks ago. The opening keynote was by Richard Wietfeld of Qualcomm called The Need for Speed.
He emphasized that smartphones are really setting the pace these days in all things mobile and internet. Over 1/3 of access is on smartphones now. Over 4/5 of searches on smartphones are spontaneous, half of smartphone users use them while watching TV (and I've seen numbers elsewhere that 10% use them during sex). Smartphones have to be always-on, always-up-to-date and power-efficient. It's a tall order.
