## Transcript

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon gave Monday's keynote at Computex in Taipei and sat down with time exclusively to discuss his firm's pivot from edge to data centers. We went from a company focused on mobile or build business across a number of industries automotive. We enter the PC. We went to industrial broadband, and now I think we go to this next phase of Qualcomm, which is, as we expanded into the data center, demand is massive, but it's important to understand that the data center is going through phases, right? So in the very beginning, it was all about training. It's about creation of models.

Then as the models get created and you go from creation of models to put models in production and you're generating tokens, then people realize, I need a more dedicated solution to do inference. Now you're going to the next phase, which is it's growing so much, you're starting to disaggregate the data center. You have dedicated clusters for different tasks. And the interesting thing about data center, it has this issue that we have seen in the mobile industry for a long time. This is the growth of compute that you need. This is the availability of energy. So you have to close the gap. And that creates opportunity for companies that have high density of compute and efficient power consumption to enter the space.

That's our bet.
