Qualcomm introduced new chips for devices such as headsets and helmets that support advanced features of the headset and greatly improve battery efficiency, allowing manufacturers to create lighter devices, even Apple's AirPods will be outdone. Earphone chip was designed years ago, the use of cheap Bluetooth (Bluetooth) parts, can not support the advanced headset features, but also quite power-hungry now Qualcomm finally catch up with the era, the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) released the QCC5100 chip , The headset for basic playback battery efficiency than the previous version to enhance 3 times, but also to eliminate noise, fitness tracking and voice commands and other new features, and 2 times faster.For companies that do not have the time and resources to design custom chips Qualcomm's QCC5100 will be a very helpful solution, and it is generally believed that the QCC5100 is directed at Apple's AirPods, but Anthony Murray, senior vice president of voice and music at Qualcomm, said Qualcomm is brewing since 2014 Chip upgrades, and proceed with the development of patents to clarify which are essential features, and then try to put everything on a single On the chip, headphone manufacturers using the QCC5100 will be able to configure the device's battery power according to the desired function, but also use a smaller battery (now the largest part of the wireless headset is the battery), to achieve a more lightweight design, which means that, Murray admitted that battery power is an important consideration Qualcomm, because the battery dominate the appearance of the device, but QCC5100 although this quarter began mass production, but the headset using this chip is still to be developed Qualcomm expects some of its early adopters will launch products by the end of the year, most of which may not come out until 2019, and will go the high-priced route because the QCC5100 is a high-end chipset among Qualcomm-branded products Qualcomm may end at the end of the year In the longer term, Qualcomm hopes the QCC5100 will also get Amazon adoption to build a headset powered by Alexa that will allow the virtual assistant to communicate with the headset through the headset Users inseparable.
