Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, umlingane wam uLuis ukuxelele malunga nomdla weBroadcom ekuthengeni iQualcomm, ngaphezulu nje kwe- $ 130.000 yezigidigidi. Kwiinyanga zamva nje, inkampani yeprosesa ye-Snapdragon iye yajongana neengxaki ezahlukeneyo kunye ne-Apple yokusetyenziswa kwamalungelo awodwa omenzi kunye nabasemagunyeni baseTshayina ngokunyusa ngokugqithisileyo ixabiso labaqhubekisi bayo.
Ilahleko ye-Apple njengomthengi yinto enzima kwiiakhawunti ze-Qualcomm, isibetho esiya kunyanzeliswa kwiminyaka ezayo ngenxa yesivumelwano esifikelele kuso kunye nabavelisi abakhulu baseTshayina i-Xiaomi, i-Vivo kunye ne-Oppo. emva kotyelelo lukaDonald Trump kweli lizwe. Kubonakala ngathi esi sivumelwano samva nje siye sahlangabezana nolindelo lwexesha elizayo lwe-Qualcomm, oye wakhaba ngokusemthethweni ukunikezelwa kokuthengwa kwe-Broadcom.
Ukuba oku kuthengwa kwakuqinisekisiwe, kuya kuba yinto ebaluleke kakhulu kwishishini leteknoloji kwiminyaka yamuva nje. Ibhodi yabalawuli be-Qualcomm idibene ukuze ihlalutye ukwamkelwa okanye ukugatywa kwe-Broadcom, ibhodi egqibe isigqibo sokuyigatya, ekubeni ngokutsho kwenkampani, ukunikezelwa. ilixabisi ixabiso leQualcomm kwicandelo leemfonomfono namhlanje kunye nethemba lokukhula kwayo.
UPaul Jacobs, umongameli olawulayo wale nkampani, ukwathe iQualcomm yeyona nkampani ikwimeko entle ngoku kwindawo yezixhobo eziphathwayo, kwicandelo le-semiconductor, ekuqhubeni ngokuzimeleyo... UJacbos uqinisekisa ukuba isebenza Ukutshintshela kwitekhnoloji ye-5G, inguqu eya kuqala kwiminyaka embalwa.
I-Broadcom yinkampani yaseMntla Melika ye-semiconductor eyenza amacandelo ezixhobo ezenza unxibelelwano lweengcingo kunye nebroadband. Yasekwa ngo-1991 kwaye ngoku inekomkhulu layo e-Irvine, eCalifornia.
