• ▶ 1:29:34 Ben Gilbert And to be clear on the silicon, people know the Snapdragon brand today.
• ▶ 1:29:37 Ben Gilbert This is not Snapdragon.
• ▶ 1:43:32 David Rosenthal Um, but two, that's when they start building the Snapdragon, uh, unit
• ▶ 1:43:55 Ben Gilbert And if you're buying a high-end Android phone, it's a Qualcomm, whatever, I don't know all the model numbers, but series eight gen one or something is the Snapdragon.
• ▶ 1:44:05 David Rosenthal And they now brand everything Snapdragon.
• ▶ 1:44:07 Ben Gilbert They do, which makes teasing some of this apart very confusing because they've just slapped the Snapdragon label on so much that you're like, wait, but that's just an RF antenna.
• ▶ 1:44:15 Ben Gilbert How come it says Snapdragon?
• ▶ 1:44:18 Ben Gilbert Like that's the whole point of calling everything Snapdragon.
• ▶ 1:54:03 Ben Gilbert Again, not for a Snapdragon, not for the CPU, not for the system on a chip, just for the RF cellular modem.
• ▶ 2:02:14 Ben Gilbert They already make Snapdragons for the high-end Android phones, and soon they'll be able to make a competitor to Apple's M series chips for laptops and desktops and maybe even servers.
• ▶ 2:02:30 Ben Gilbert So, Snapdragons
• ▶ 2:02:49 Ben Gilbert Snapdragons use an off-the-shelf ARM design for their CPU.
• ▶ 2:03:13 Ben Gilbert Unfortunately, like Qualcomm, everything cool about the, um, the Snapdragon chip doesn't actually include the CPU.
• ▶ 2:03:28 David Rosenthal For Snapdragon to get on par with Apple Silicon.
• ▶ 2:11:13 Ben Gilbert If you are a fabulous, uh, chip company, then it is worth all the R and D going into creating a Snapdragon, designing and creating a Snapdragon and realized across a huge number of customers.
• ▶ 2:11:26 Ben Gilbert So like, it's really hard to start the next Qualcomm if the front, the frontier you want to compete on is making a better Snapdragon, that's not going to happen.
