Look at the bright side, our margins will improve, product mix is going to be more heavy on MSM, those are really good news :). I foresee a period of maximized shareholder value here. Keep working, the new TRR will compensate you for your efforts.
180985, did your retarded brain, that you hopefully haven't passed to your spouses children make you answer that? Moronosauraus, they sold the phone with Infineon and they will sell it over your dead body. If your modem is your pride, go at hello to the silly mammoth o on your way out. Die, and get extinct loser. Queer? Really? How more lame can you get, Donald Trump?
This will kill Qualcomm's market and revenue!
- Did your queer ass rectum get butt hurt? Apple is using and will continue to use Q modem chips. Apple likes to leverage 2nd 3rd companies for price and tech. Or are you too stupid to understand this?
Just rumors and hearsay, Qualcomm will be triumphant in the long run. Apple is just a passing fad anyway.
Who cares? For Apple business, you may not. But realize that your moat is breached. The MDM line has a proven competition Intel shows up in 7. Have seen their chips, do S well as 9x55. From there, you cAn only TRY to price beat Intel. If it doesn't wake your slow brain, not sure what will. Your loss - you are the Darwinian loser. Who care - you don't - you will be extinct soon..
"...half the people here won't admit how f***ed up SD QCOM is. Many of the people haven't worked at another place and just have no reference. I can tell you that after I quit and moved on, the new place is much, much better and am totally glad that I left. For some reason, lots of QC'er are insulted when you bring this up. Not sure why. Its like they want to live with their heads buried in the sand.
I second the WHO CARES.
Low level mgrs. at the Q are too busy worry about staying low level mgrs.and/or getting promoted up a notch. Sr staff want to become mgrs. and then get promoted up a notch. All of this while not listening to the customer but, instead, continuing to push an obsolete and out-of-touch-with-reality IPR business model (inventing something no one wants and then arrogantly still trying to convince customers why they need it and must pay royalties for it). In stockbroker/hedge language, it's called rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic.
Intel work culture is like qcom except everyone knows and acknowledges it - half the people here won't admit how f***ed up SD QCOM is
Qcom doesn't make thaaaat much money from Apple dudes . Apple is small part of global sales and it's just modem. You guys are out of touch
Q's final days are approaching. hahahahahahahahaha
WHO CARES!!!!!
What is the work culture like at Intel (serious question, I am a sr engineer at qct) ?
It is obvious Q is grooming QCT for a divestiture, so in all likelyhood, they will be buying Q chips from Intel 18-24 months from now.
didn't sm just tell that 2016 will be a transition year...
