Qualcomm, a popular chip maker has recently revealed its earnings for the past quarter and it has been doing really well, being able to pull its revenue compared to how the company fared last year at the same quarter. Qualcomm reported $3.35 billion in last quarter ($1.17 billion profit) of 2010 which is some 25 percent increase from the first quarter.
Now, for those tablet lovers, it is interesting to know that there are 20 tablets carrying the Qualcomm chips. That is quite a big deal for many tablet lovers out there. Right now, the company cannot say yet which brands or labels will be carrying their chips but as we all know, the Asus Eee Pad MeMo 7 will carry the Dual core Snapdragon chip. The Lenovo LePad will also use a 1.3 GHz chip from Qualcomm. So at least we have 2 tablets we know that will use the said chip. There are still 18 more tablets to see. However, these tablets are still on the development stages and that means we may or may not see some of these in real life. In a niche where it seems NVIDIA Tegra 2 is at the top of its game, it is nice to know how Qualcomm is making the competition a bit more exciting and competitive. However, Apple will still continue on their use of the ARM based chips for their mobile and tablet devices.
