Are you calling Anandtech a mysterious, unnamed source? No, I was referring to the general claim by articles that "sources" from "inside Qualcomm" gave them such information. However Anand's comment was...dubious. Qualcomm doesn't generally publish a roadmap, and there was a single leak of uncertain origin that actually showed Qualcomm's own 64-bit IP (their own designed cores) in Q4 of 2014. So not only was Anand wrong about what the supposed roadmap contained, the roadmap itself has absolutely no credibility to begin with (even if it were made within Qualcomm, it could easily have been made by a division such as marketing that is going on the most certain of facts, while engineering may very well have had such a plan to adopt ARM's design for iteration 1, and then customize for iteration 2). Making any broad claims about Qualcomm from that is ill-informed rumor mongering, which Anand is not always above.
