Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Mobile Chip Platform Turns 10 Today

Qualcomm's Snapdragons are synonymous with Android smartphones. The company has been a leader in mobile chips for the past 10 years. If you are currently using an Android smartphone, it is likely to work on one of Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors. Of course, while companies such as Samsung, Huawei, and MediaTek acknowledge that they manufacture their own chipsets for smartphones, Qualcomm has a decisive leverage over them all.

The first Snapdragon processor was unveiled to the public just 10 years ago on November 14, 2007, and the Snapdragon S1 was the impressive 65nm chip at the time. Ten years later, we now offer the Snapdragon 835 10nm chip found in almost every Android flagship released this year. Snapdragon 835 is six times smaller than the company's first processor released 10 years ago. This is a good example of how fast technology has evolved from one generation to another.

Although Qualcomm originally designed these processors with smartphones in mind, Snapdragon chips in a variety of products such as smartwatches, tablets, automobiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, virtual and augmented reality headsets have been replaced in terms of functionality, performance and power consumption. The company is due to unveil its chips on its Windows 10 PC early next year, so it is not scheduled to stop.
