Qualcomm Inc
Qualcomm is first and foremost a technical innovator and promoter. Qualcomm spends a considerable part of its income on basic technology research and development, and provides almost all patented technologies to user equipment licensors and system equipment licensors of all sizes. Qualcomm's business model helps these system equipment and user equipment manufacturers to bring their products to market faster at a much lower cost than their own research and development technologies, chips and software solutions. In addition, Qualcomm also allows the licensee to use Qualcomm's increasing patented technology types in its authorized CDMA products, such as EV-DO Rev A, HSDPA/HSUPA, OFDM(A) and other new technologies, and the patent fee charged is not higher than the global CDMA patent fee in Qualcomm. This provides a predictable model for licensees in Qualcomm.
1985 in July, executives from seven industries gathered at the home of Dr. Owen Jacob in San Diego to discuss an idea. These dreamers-Franklin Ann Togno, Adelia coffman, Andrew Cohen, Klein Gillhausen, Owen Jacobs, andrew viterbi and Harvey White-decided to establish "high-quality communication" and made a plan, which eventually evolved into one of the greatest entrepreneurial success stories in the communication industry: Qualcomm.
Snapdragon Intelligent Processing Platform is an industry-leading integrated full range of mobile processors launched by Qualcomm. At present, it has supported more than 1000 terminals of famous brands such as Samsung, HTC, Nokia, LG, Sony, Huawei and ZTE. 20 12 On February 20th, Qualcomm officially named the Chinese name of Snapdragon series processors as "Snapdragon".
Xiaolong processor platform is a highly integrated mobile optimization system chip (SoC), which combines the industry-leading 3G/4G mobile broadband technology and the microprocessor core based on ARM instruction set independently developed by Qualcomm, and has powerful multimedia function, 3D graphics function and GPS engine.
The terminal products supported by Snapdragon cover mass-market smart phones, even brand-new smart terminals such as high-end smart phones, tablet computers and smart TVs. One of the advantages of Snapdragon is its combination of powerful application processing performance, wireless connection such as 2G, 3G, 4G, WiFi and Bluetooth, and ultra-low power consumption. In order to understand the performance and functions of various processor products under Snapdragon brand more clearly, in June of 20 13, 13, Qualcomm announced the launch of a brand-new naming method and hierarchical structure of Opteron processors, which are divided into four levels according to performance levels, namely Opteron 800 series, 600 series, 400 series and 200 series processors. The new Opteron processor series will be extended to more consumer electronics products.
The advantage of Xiaolong processor is that it combines powerful application processing performance with ultra-low power consumption.
Qualcomm is building a foundation that other manufacturers can use for innovation and creating an environment that can reduce product costs. Qualcomm's patent licensing structure helps those manufacturers who do not produce GSM products or early analog mobile phones to invest in developing and selling CDMA2000 and WCDMA products. The emergence of these new vendors has brought market competition, reduced the cost that end users have to pay, promoted innovation by expanding richer functions and applications, and finally benefited consumers.
Qualcomm is not as famous as Texas Instruments and Intel in name, but Qualcomm is more popular among smartphone players. Qualcomm's Opteron processor platform is also compatible with various intelligent systems. At the same time, Qualcomm's CPU chip is the first to be compatible with Android system, so it occupies half of the CPU of Android mobile phone. Android is the general trend of intelligent system in the future. Qualcomm is like adding wings to this ready-to-go Android, and the prospect is bright. At present, all smart terminals using WindowsPhone system are equipped with Opteron processors.
20 14 April, Qualcomm officially launched a new generation of mobile processing platforms, Snapdragon 8 10 and 808, using 64-bit processors, including Cortex-A57/A53 dual quad-core processors and Adreno 430 graphics chip built in Snapdragon 8 10.
On September 20 14, HTC released HTCDesire 820 at IFA Berlin International Consumer Electronics Show. HTC Desire 820 adopts Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 15, and Snapdragon 6 15 is the first 8-core processor in Qualcomm and the first 64-bit processor in Qualcomm.

Adreno embedded GPU provides a complete GPU processor for Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile processing platform, which is a mobile graphics processor introduced by Qualcomm's acquisition of amd drawing handheld setting technology, including Adreno200, Adreno203, Adreno205, Adreno220, Adreno 225, Adreno 305, Adreno320, Adreno330, etc.
By acquiring amd's dynamic images, we provided Qualcomm with a gpu solution for mobile phones.
Huawei
Hisilicon K3V2 is the smallest quad-core A9 architecture processor in 20 12 industry. It is a high-performance CPU designed by Huawei with the main frequency of 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz. The 35NM, 64-bit memory bus based on ARM architecture is adopted, which is twice that of Tegra 3 memory bus. The emergence of this processor has ended the situation that China's domestic mobile phones are short of cores, making Huawei the third mobile phone manufacturer to independently produce chips after Samsung and Apple.
Dezhou instrument
TexasInstruments is a well-deserved big brother in the mobile phone CPU market just like Apple is in the mobile phone market. Its OMAP series processor used to be the royal CPU of Nokia, dopod and Palm, and it is compatible with mainstream operating systems such as Linux, Windows CE, Palm, Symbian S60 and WindowsMobile. From the original OMAP7 10 clocked at 132, to the OMAP4440 processor integrated with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 at10.5 GHz, and then to the OMAP543x processor integrated with multi-core ARM Cortex-A 15 at 2GHz, Texas Instruments has been at the forefront of the development of mobile phone CPU, but in
Intel Corporation of the United States (one of the Fortune 500 companies is famous for producing CPU chips)
Speaking of Intel, everyone has been familiar with Intel since we knew computers. Unlike in the computer industry, we have never reached the peak in the mobile phone CPU market and stumbled all the way. Since the launch of Intel's first PXA2 10, it has been favored by many manufacturers because of its high main frequency and good 3D effect processing, and since then, the products have improved in both main frequency and processing capacity. However, due to Intel's higher chip workmanship, the corresponding price is much higher than that of the same period products, and the power consumption is also greater, so the market response is not good. PXA series can only be seen in high-end machines of Motorola and dopod. Later, Intel released PXA272 at 624MHz, which was the highest frequency mobile phone CPU at that time, and immediately attracted the attention of more manufacturers and users. When the market was promising, Intel unexpectedly sold Xscale to Marvell. This is why the author introduced Intel and Marvell together. After the acquisition, Marvell launched the PXA 3XX series, which is used in many famous models, such as Samsung I908.
Orion belt
After several years of development, Samsung's mobile phone CPU has made great achievements. Its single-core CPU Samsung Hummingbird S5PC 1 10A is a well-deserved king of single cores, with good CPU processing ability, high-performance SGX540 GPU and powerful DSP co-processing. What's important is that it has the highest L2 cache in a single core, so that performance can be brought into full play.
At the same time, Samsung's Orion dual-core is also the leader in the dual-core. Although it is not as good as OMAP4430, its performance is also better than mainstream dual cores such as tegra2 and msm8x60.

Apple's A4 processor is improved on the basis of hummingbird.
New forces
Although the CPU market is temporarily dominated by TI, Intel and Qualcomm, there are also many new forces, including Freescale and NVIDIA, an old PC graphics chip manufacturer.
Invista, which cooperates with Samsung, should not be underestimated. NVIDIA has always been the best choice for all PC graphics enthusiasts. Its powerful multimedia analysis ability makes NVIDIA have more space in mobile phones, because today's mobile phone system has paid more and more attention to the expressive ability of multimedia. At this time, NVIDIA's intervention will definitely bring a qualitative leap to the multimedia capabilities of mobile phones. At present, the highest video processing ability of mobile phones is 4K video, and it will definitely be higher in the future.
