The endorsement of this response is that in May, the well-known financial media company, Bloomberg, said that Qualcomm had already put off the server chip division on the agenda.
Amon also stressed that there is no strategic adjustment of the server chip business, and it is not for sale.
However, Amon said that the enterprise server chip unit will be incorporated into the CDMA technology department to increase cost efficiency, and the latter's function has always been to develop and sell mobile phone chips.
The report said that the reorganized server chip division will target Chinese cloud computing customers, including Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu.
Amon said frankly that the opportunity for ARM platform server chips is very clear, that is, there is no field of x86 barriers. Here is the software. Large companies can write corresponding software based on ARM's reduced instruction set, while small companies cannot afford similar support. cost.
It is not yet clear if there is a link between Qualcomm's server chip for China and 'Huaxin 1', which is a product of Qualcomm's joint venture with technology-for-market, 'Huizhou Huaxintong Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd' (HXT). 10nm process, customized for the Chinese market.
At present, Qualcomm’s latest high-end server chip product is the Centriq 2400 series released last year. The Centriq 2460 is a flagship model, 10nm LPP process, 48 core design, base frequency of 2.2GHz, thermal design power consumption of 120W, support for DDR4-2667 memory, etc. .
