https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adreno
Adreno is a series of graphics processing unit(GPU) semiconductor intellectual property coresdeveloped by Qualcomm and used in many of their SoCs.
Adreno is an integrated graphics processing unit (GPU) within Qualcomm's Snapdragon applications processors, that was jointly developed by ATI Technologies in conjunction with Qualcomm's preexisting "QShader" GPU architecture, and coalesced into a single family of GPUs that rebranded as Adreno in 2008, just prior to AMD's mobile division being sold to Qualcomm in January 2009 for $65M.[1][2] Early Adreno models included the Adreno 100 and 110, which had 2D graphics acceleration and limited multimedia capabilities. Prior to 2008, 3D graphics on mobile platforms were commonly handled using software-based rendering engines, which limited their performance and consumed too much power to be used for anything other than rudimentary mobile graphics applications. With growing demand for more advanced multimedia and 3D graphics capabilities, Qualcomm licensed the Imageon IP from AMD, in order to add hardware-accelerated 3D capabilities to their mobile products.[3] Further collaboration with AMD resulted in the development of the Adreno 200, originally named the AMD Z430, based on a mobile Imageon variant of the R400[4] architecture used in the Xenos GPU of the Xbox 360 video game console[5] and released in 2008, which was integrated into the first Snapdragon SoC. In January 2009, AMD sold their entire Imageon handheld device graphics division to Qualcomm.

Qualcomm Incorporated (/ˈkwɒlkɒm/)[2] is an American multinational corporation headquartered in San Diego, California, and incorporated in Delaware.[3] It creates semiconductors, software and services related to wireless technology. It owns patents critical to the 5G, 4G,[4] CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA and WCDMA mobile communications standards.
Qualcomm was established in 1985 by Irwin Jacobsand six other co-founders. Its early research into CDMA wireless cell phone technology was funded by selling a two-way mobile digital satellite communications system known as Omnitracs. After a heated debate in the wireless industry, CDMA was adopted as a 2G standard in North America, with Qualcomm's patents incorporated.[5] Afterwards, there was a series of legal disputes about pricing for licensing patents required by the standard.[6]
Over the years, Qualcomm has expanded into selling semiconductor products in a predominantly fabless manufacturing model. It also developed semiconductor components or software for vehicles, watches, laptops, wi-fi, smartphones, and other devices.
Qualcomm was created in July 1985[7][5] by seven former Linkabit employees led by Irwin Jacobs.[8]Other co-founders included Andrew Viterbi, Franklin Antonio, Adelia Coffman, Andrew Cohen, Klein Gilhousen, and Harvey White.[9] The company was named Qualcomm for "Quality Communications".[10]It started as a contract research and development center[11] largely for government and defense projects.
Qualcomm merged with Omninet in 1988 and raised $3.5 million in funding to produce the Omnitracs satellite communications system for trucking companies.[8] Qualcomm grew from eight employees in 1986 to 620 employees in 1991, due to demand for Omnitracs.[13] By 1989, Qualcomm had $32 million in revenue, 50 percent of which was from an Omnitracs contract with Schneider National.[8][14] Omnitracs profits helped fund Qualcomm's research and development into code-division multiple access (CDMA) technologies for cell phone networks.
1990–2015
edit
Qualcomm was operating at a loss in the 1990s due to its investment in CDMA research.[11][15] To obtain funding, the company filed an initial public offeringin September 1991,[16] raising $68 million.[8] An additional $486 million was raised in 1995 through the sale of 11.5 million more shares. The second funding round was done to raise money for the mass manufacturing of CDMA-based phones, base-stations, and equipment, after most US-based cellular networks announced they would adopt the CDMA standard.[11] The company had $383 millionin annual revenue in 1995[17] and $814 million by 1996.[18]
In 1998, Qualcomm was restructured, leading to a 700-employee layoff. Its base station and cell-phone manufacturing businesses were spun-off in order to focus on its higher-margin patents and chipset businesses.[8][11]: 310–311 Since the base station division was losing $400M a year (having never sold another base station after making its 10th sale), profits skyrocketed in the following year, and Qualcomm was the fastest growing stock on the market with a 2,621 percent growth over one year.[19][20][21] By 2000, Qualcomm had grown to 6,300 employees, $3.2 billion in revenues, and $670 millionin profit. 39 percent of its sales were from CDMA technology, followed by licensing (22%), wireless (22%), and other products (17%).[11] Around this time, Qualcomm established offices in Europe, Asia Pacific, and in the Americas.[11]: 316 By 2001, 65 percent of Qualcomm's revenues originated from outside the United States with 35 percent coming from South Korea.[11]: 19
In 2005, Paul E. Jacobs, son of Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs, was appointed as Qualcomm's new CEO.[22] Whereas Irwin Jacobs focused on CDMA patents, Paul Jacobs refocused much of Qualcomm's new research and development on projects related to the Internet of things.[22] In the same year they acquired Flarion Technologies, a developer of wireless broadband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex Access (OFDMA) technology.

Qualcomm announced its intent to acquire NXP Semiconductors for $47 billion in October 2016.[28]The deal was approved by U.S. antitrust regulators in April 2017[29] with some standard-essential patents excluded to get the deal approved.[30][31]
As the NXP acquisition was ongoing, Broadcommade a $103 billion offer to acquire Qualcomm,[32][33] and Qualcomm rejected the offer.[34] Broadcom attempted a hostile takeover,[35] and raised its offer, eventually to $121 billion.[36] The potential Broadcom acquisition was investigated by the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment[37] and blocked by an executive order from U.S. President Donald Trump, citing national security concerns.[38]
Qualcomm's NXP acquisition then became a part of the 2018 China–United States trade war.[39] U.S. President Donald Trump blocked China-based ZTE Corporation from buying American-made components, such as those from Qualcomm.[39][40]The ZTE restriction was lifted after the two countries reached an agreement,[41] but then Trump raised tariffs against Chinese goods.[39] Qualcomm extended a tender offer to NXP at least 29 times pending Chinese approval,[42] before abandoning the deal in July 2018.[43][44]
On January 6, 2021, Qualcomm appointed its president and chip division head Cristiano Amon as its new chief executive.[45]
On January 13, 2021, Qualcomm announced it would acquire NUVIA, a server CPU startup founded in early 2019 by ex-Apple and ex-Google architects, for approximately $1.4 billion.[46][47] The acquisition was completed in March 2021, and it was announced that its first products would be laptop CPUs, shipping in the second half of 2022.[48]
In March 2022, Qualcomm acquired the advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous drivingsoftware brand Arriver from the investment company SSW Partners.[49]
In June 2022, Qualcomm acquired Israeli startup Cellwize through its investment arm Qualcomm Ventures.[50]
In August 2022, Bloomberg News reported that Qualcomm was planning to return to server CPU market based on NUVIA's product.[51] Later that month, Arm Ltd. announced that it sued Qualcomm and NUVIA for breaching license agreements and trademark violations.[52] Arm cited that the chip designs using Arm licenses developed by NUVIA could not be transferred to its parent Qualcomm without permission.[53] Qualcomm indicated that its licenses with Arm cover custom-designed processors.[53]
In January 2023, the company announced a new partnership with Salesforce to develop a connected vehicle platform for automakers using the Snapdragon digital chassis.[54]
In May 2023, Qualcomm announced their intent to purchase Israeli fabless chipmaking company Autotalks for a reported $350–400 million. The purchase is subject to review by the Competition and Markets Authority.[55][56] In March 2024, it was announced by the Federal Trade Commission that Qualcomm's proposed acquisition of Autotalks has been terminated.[57]
In September 2023, the company announced that it had signed a contract rumored to be worth $75 million per year for its Snapdragon brand to be the primary shirt sponsor for English football club Manchester United starting with the 2024–25 season, replacing German company TeamViewer.[58][59]
In October 2023, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon X series, a computing platform for Windows PCs which includes a custom ARM-based Oryon CPU (from NUVIA acquisition), a GPU, and a dedicated neural processing unit.[60][61]
In October 2024, Arm Ltd. said it would cancel Qualcomm's chip design licence in an escalation of the dispute over the acquisition of NUVIA.

Fabless manufacturing is the design and sale of hardware devices and semiconductor chips while outsourcing their fabrication (or fab) to a specialized manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry. These foundries are typically, but not exclusively, located in the United States, mainland China, and Taiwan. Fabless companies can benefit from lower capital costs while concentrating their research and development resources on the end market. Some fabless companies and pure playfoundries (like TSMC) may offer integrated-circuitdesign services to third parties.
