Qualcomm’s products dominate the market for mobile devices that use the Android operating system. That makes the company’s technology updates a vital part of efforts to compete against Apple Inc. by many of the world’s smartphone makers.
Qualcomm Inc. unveiled a more powerful processor designed to bring laptop-level capabilities to smartphones, helping the devices take advantage of new artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
The latest version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon lineup will include its in-house Oryon processor design, the company said Monday at an event in Hawaii. The chip will be 45% faster than the previous model and use less energy, Qualcomm said.
