News on December 6th, according to foreign media reports, Qualcomm has now launched a new notebook computer chip. Using its own technological advantages, related notebook computers can last for more than one day with only one battery charge, and they can always be connected. On the Internet, and the retail price can be as low as $300.
The notebook computer chip market has always been dominated by Intel, while Qualcomm has a leading position in the global high-end smartphone chip market. Analysts believe that to weaken Intel's dominant position in the notebook computer market, Qualcomm may have no illusions. But now, this new set of chips provided by Qualcomm will challenge Intel's position in the notebook computer market.
"We are not confused. We know it takes a long time to enter this market," said Miguel Nunes, Qualcomm Product Director. "We too Understand that it may take longer.”
Nunez said that being able to build more economical equipment will help Qualcomm. However, if consumers are to break the high awareness of the Intel brand and overcome high marketing expenditures, Qualcomm and other new entrants need to open up new ways to reach consumers.
A feasible solution is to sell notebook computers based on Qualcomm chips through mobile operators. Nunes said that, like mobile phones, if a laptop has a monthly payment package, consumers will be more affordable.
He also said that laptops sold by mobile operators can always be connected to the Internet just like mobile phones, so many companies will deploy such laptops for their employees.
Nunez said that these laptops can be updated in real time no matter where they are located. This is the advantage of being connected to the Internet. Qualcomm's expansion of the personal computer market is part of a broader effort to promote mobile technology to the market for devices other than smartphones.
The growth of the smart phone market has been slowing down, and consumers have shown lower interest in upgrading to phones with slightly improved performance compared to existing models.
Qualcomm has set its sights on personal computers in particular. The company believes that chips based on mobile technology can greatly improve battery life and keep them connected to the Internet. However, this is something Intel does not possess.
"One of the challenges we see is that when you talk about battery life, the computer industry is plagued by many lies." Nunes said, "Consumers don't believe you." He said that Qualcomm's equipment They don’t need to be plugged in for a few days. With the arrival of the fifth-generation network, they will continue to obtain extremely fast data and be able to use more powerful calculations on the Internet.
Qualcomm is holding its annual meeting in Hawaii. The company has introduced new 5G chips for mobile phones, including chips that will make mobile phones cheaper starting early next year, and new products for virtual reality and augmented reality headsets. (Tianmen Mountain)
