Qualcomm to Supply Meta and Microsoft with Its Latest AI Chips

Qualcomm announced a strategic multi-generation partnership of data center CPUs with Meta. Qualcomm's self-developed CPU, the Dragonfly C1000, purpose-built for AI data centers, is planned for deployment in Meta's next-generation servers. Additionally, according to Qualcomm, Microsoft plans to adopt its new High-Bandwidth Compute (HBC) chip architecture. This solution leverages affordable, standard LPDDR memory commonly used in smartphones and laptops, rather than NVIDIA's high-priced HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) or the SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory) used by Cerebras.
