As a core enterprise that is difficult to bypass in today's smartphone industry, Qualcomm has received widespread attention at the 2021 investor conference held in the near future. At the conference, Qualcomm posted a unified technology roadmap, clearly showing Qualcomm's technological development route and highlighting Qualcomm's determination to diversify its development. And under the support of such technology, which direction is Qualcomm's future road? Let's analyze it.
At present, Qualcomm mainly divides four key business areas, namely smart phones, RF front-ends, automobiles, and the Internet of Things, and Qualcomm's future development direction is undoubtedly one of them. The field of smart phones is undoubtedly qualcomm is the most familiar, in addition to the advantages on the chip, Qualcomm is also the smart phone RF front-end market to obtain revenue first, the comprehensive strength is strong enough. It is worth noting that Qualcomm has also extended its technical strength in the RF front end to the automotive and Internet of Things fields, further promoting the development of the RF front end.
Thanks to its foundation in the RF front end, Qualcomm now ranks first in the field of in-vehicle networking and automotive wireless connectivity. At the same time, thanks to Qualcomm's accumulation of chips and technological innovation, Snapdragon's digital cockpit platform has quickly become a leading product in the automotive field, not only adopted by more than 25 automakers, but also opened cooperation with BMW to create a next-generation ADAS and autonomous driving platform.
Whether it is a smart phone or a smart car, it will be a key part of the Internet of Things in the future, and Qualcomm also plays a key role in today's Internet of Things process. In the fixed wireless access (FWA), Wi-Fi access point evolution and 5G RAN infrastructure have a leading edge, in this case, Qualcomm 5G FWA solutions are used by more than 30 terminal manufacturers around the world, in the process of evolution to Wi-Fi 7 has a unique advantage, Qualcomm 5G RAN platform has energy efficiency advantages, Qualcomm's solutions in the field of Internet of Things, is becoming an indispensable part of the development process of the Internet of Things.
It is not difficult to find that whether Qualcomm is developing in the field of automobiles or the Internet of Things, its core advantages are derived from their chips and communication capabilities, and the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, as one of the core businesses, can well reflect their core advantages. The new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform adopts a 4nm process and is equipped with a new generation of ARM Cortex-X2, A710, A510 CPU core architecture, and the performance and power consumption have been further improved, which is at the top level in the industry. More importantly, it integrates the 4th generation Of snapdragon X65 5G modem and RF system, supports 10Gbps download speed, and provides quite excellent 5G services in the 5G era, which well reflects Qualcomm's achievements in 5G.
On the whole, the basis of Qualcomm's diversified development path is mainly derived from the accumulation of mobile devices, but the technology displayed by the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform and the comprehensive development of Qualcomm in other fields can fully show that Qualcomm is still in a stage of rapid development, compared to opponents, the advantages of its technical strength are still quite obvious. From the perspective of Qualcomm's strategy and technical foundation, Qualcomm's potential market and achievements in the next decade will continue to grow, and the diversified development will also promote each other, and I believe it will definitely bring us more excellent product experience.
