- rvz 2mo agoThey are no better than Nvidia. I do not see your point.
- NuclearPM 2mo agoDid you mean “worse”?
- mbanzi 2mo agoNVIDIA is way worse and QCOM are improving
- rvz 2mo agoI agree. Saying "Qualcomm is a notoriously closed source company." isn't really a point in the semiconductor space. They all are. At least with Mojo that is open sourced and Nvidia's nvcc is still closed.
- cromka 2mo agoNotoriously is a stretch if almost all of Linux ARM commits these days come from them
- mbanzi 2mo agoQualcomm is changing a lot. They are learning and adopting open source. I’ve seen this in other Silicon vendors, they used to deal only with big corps and would talk to you only if you promised to buy millions of parts. Now they are all moving to a model where they want an open ecosystem , attract developers, promote open source. It’s changing , it’s not going to be perfect, there will be false steps but the direction is good and we all benefit from this change. As someone else said they are way ahead of NVIDIA in open source adoption so you should keep an eye on Qualcomm
