Coverage contextQualcomm targets $15bn data centre revenue, Qualcomm is betting that AI inference efficiency can rival raw compute as the next data centre battleground. Dragonfly and the $3.8bn Modular acquisition give it silicon plus software leverage. Meta's early commitment provides credibility, but the $15bn revenue target will depend on whether other hyperscalers see Qualcomm as a viable alternative to incumbent GPU vendors.Medium confidence
Coverage contextEricsson and Qualcomm turn 6G lab proof into a commercialization test, Ericsson and Qualcomm's 6G announcement matters because it moves a future-network story from aspiration into prototype evidence. The companies said they had aligned on core 6G radio concepts and validated them in joint lab work, then tied the results to MWC 2026 demonstrations and 3GPP Release 20 study input. That does not make commercial 6G imminent. It does show where infrastructure vendors, silicon suppliers and standards bodies are starting to turn 6G into measurable radio performance, spectrum choices and device-network compute assumptions.Medium confidence
Coverage contextQualcomm acquires Alphawave for data centre expansion, Qualcomm to acquire Alphawave Semi in $2.4bn deal to strengthen its data centre connectivity and AI semiconductor ecosystem.Medium confidence
