Qualcomm is expected to use its investor day on Wednesday to lay out a push beyond its core smartphone business into the fast-growing, but highly competitive, market for AI data center chips. Analysts expect the San Diego-based company to name new customers for its AI chips as it tries to gain a foothold in a market dominated by Nvidia. The shift reflects mounting pressure in the smartphone market, where Qualcomm is one of the world’s largest chip suppliers to Android device makers.
Qualcomm said on Wednesday it would buy AI startup Modular for an undisclosed sum, as the chipmaker looks to diversify beyond its core smartphone business. The company was in advanced discussions to acquire Modular in a deal valuing it at about $4 billion, Bloomberg News reported on Monday. Buying Modular pits Qualcomm against CUDA, the software platform that has helped underpin Nvidia's AI dominance by tying millions of developers to the $5 trillion company's chips.
