I think the big news here is that Qualcomm SoC releases were a fire and forget operation before this deal.
How could they become the dominant chip maker without providing better after sales support for Linux/Android untill now?
The cynical in me thinks this is related to Google soon releasing their own CPUs.
- phh 6y agoTo me, they are more fire and forget with this change, than without. Before this, they had to upgrade their stack to be ""state of the art"" for 2 or 3 versions after an SoC release. Now they no longer need to. They only have to fix security flaws, but they don't have to bring any improvement whatsoever.
