New business for Qualcomm

Today, Qualcomm, which is the biggest smart phone processor supplier, announced that it will enter the host market. As what Qualcomm said, as the demand from client, they will start to provide processor for host. Though, it may take a long time, but Qualcomm is quite interested in it.

Qualcomm did not tell its product information. But it will adopt the ARM framework which is also adopted by some other companies who want to enter this market. Now, in the market, Intel is still the leader, and it adopts the X86 framework. Even AMD who adopts the same framework only takes 3% market. But many clients expect new products to replace Intel, especially ARM framework.

Most companies which are interested in Qualcomm's new product are some big website owners, like Facebook. Facebook is quite excited when Qualcomm announced the news.

But compared with Intel, Qualcomm still has some shortcomings, like the high speed network technology which is necessary for host processor. But till now, Qualcomm is the biggest company for ARM framework, so they have much advantage than others.
