Qualcomm predicts declining sales this year, its R&D spending is increasing less than its revenues and much less than the market, its top processor is criticised for over-heating, it has lost the top mobile processor slot at Samsung, it is losing out on design-wins in China and it will use an in-house designed SOC for its next mobile processor instead of an ARM-designed SOC as in the 810.
“With the 810 (Snapdragon 810) we made a conscious decision to use licensed cores to accommodate the accelerated shift to 64 bit,” says Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf, “our next premium processor will use our own 64 bit custom CPU architecture as well as the most advanced process node.”
