5G - Is Qualcomm's president Amon being too optimistic?

Amon is claiming that 5G will be ready by April next year. With so many setbacks (latest 7nm fiasco as a cherry on top), God knows we desperately need a win. Delivering 5G before others could definitely get us back on track, but I'm afraid that his... — read more

It's like my birthday and Christmas rolled into one every Friday after work. I really shouldn't be THIS happy to be out of here every single week considering how much I used to enjoy working at Qualcomm. Heck, I even looked forward to Mondays. Oh... — read more

Q ASICS

Just did a test down of the 850, what a piece of c-ap. Very poor density on ASIC and the Windows perf blows. What a joke, fire the ASIC team.
