    Phoronix: Qualcomm Begins Optimizing Glibc For Their Oryon CPU Core

    Qualcomm has begun landing performance optimizations into the GNU C Library "glibc" for benefiting their new Oryon-1 CPU cores as found in the Snapdragon X Elite/Plus SoCs...

    Qualcomm, along with NVIDIA and Broadcom, is one of the few tech companies that seem like they are poised for significant growth, from an investors point of view.

    I like what Qualcomm is doing and they may end up catching both Intel and AMD sleeping if these two stick with x86 and Qualcomm keeps working on their offerings.

    Qualcomm stock is just a tick over two hundred bucks a share and everything I see, including from The Fool, indicates it may jump 50% before the year is up.

    I think I may have to take a position in it.

      It probably won't help them to keep up with their performance claims, but any improvements are welcome.

        I can't see them not shooting themselves in the foot with bad pricing or something. They're going to face competition in the ARM laptop market from Mediatek and (according to rumors) both AMD and Nvidia. That's stiff competition and I think they lack the bag of tricks they've managed to use in the cell phone market.

        You're right that if you think Windows/ARM is really going to take off and Qualcomm is going to ride that huge wave, that now would be a good time to get in. I just don't believe they're going to have stellar success, in that market. They might still be a leader, but considerable pricing pressure could take the shine off that crown.

        Oh, and there's also the matter of their unresolved lawsuit with ARM.

          When there is four.competitors in a new market; one will die, one will survive as a minority underdog and another one will get merged with the last one to form a near monopoly.

            I don't see any of those listed companies either dying or getting merged. They're all too big to be acquired (or regulators would stop it for being anti-competitive, which has actually been happening lately). Perhaps Nvidia might leave the market, if their AI server business keeps growing.

            More likely, what happens is that a couple of them dominate and then before the market can settle too much, maybe RISC-V heats up and becomes the main laptop market.

              Besides the glibc tuning, Andrew Pinski and the compiler crew at Qualcomm are also busy improving gcc code generation for arm64.
