MOBILE PROCESSORS
Given Qualcomm’s mobile heritage, we’re focused – from R&D through commercialization — on exploring new and innovative ways to maximize the performance of devices like smartphones while reducing the amount of energy they consume. We design from a system approach, considering how all the parts — the processing engines, the system architecture, and the software — will perform in harmony and provide the smartphone user the best overall user experience possible.
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ mobile platforms are designed to be fast, intelligent, smooth, and secure with amazing graphics. They feature processors with multi-core CPUs, combining cutting-edge features and support.
Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship
It enables us to foster new ideas which ultimately lead to future technology advancements and growth. In an effort to establish a forum for Qualcomm and students to engage routinely, we created the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship (QIF) program, which invests in University PhD students and their forward thinking ideas.
