Qualcomm's @cristianoamon starts off #SnapdragonSummit talking about:
-redefining premium experiences with #5G. As you would expect.
- Video. Gaming. XR. Life-saving.
- Many services "yet to be invented". Yup

Qualcomm a big R&D investor. $66B. While I don't like the comingling of "R" and "D" as its different, it's a huge number.

I wish @Verizon would match its #5G talk with what it actually does. I appreciate the vision and "what we're going to do" but disappointing so far. Speeds on mmWave are amazing, I want, but in so few places, it barely matters. #SnapdragonSummit

You know when Alex shows up, we're going to get the product download. Let's go! #SnapdragonSummit

Starting off with Windows ACPC and Chromebooks. Reviewing prior launches. Then XR. Cloud AI. FWA. Setting the stage for the new stuff. #SnapdragonSummit

And it's the Snapdragon 888 5G mobile platform.
-3rd gen 5G X60 with mmWave, sub 6 CA, sub 6 TDD FDD CA, global multi-SIM, DSS
-6th gen AI engine with new DSP arch claiming 26 TOPS
-3rd gen elite gaming "up to 144fps"; upgr drvrs
-new ISP "2.7 gps or roughly 120 photos 12MP res"

Day 2 of the #SnapdragonSummit continues. Hoping for a deeper dive on 888. Not appreciating the Hawaiian bongo drums and Maui imagery. :-) A reminder of what isn't.

Qualcomm's @donnymac and Ziad Asghar kick off the day 2 deep dive on the Snapdragon 888. This new chip will give us a good idea of the advanced features of most of the 2021 premium phones. #SnapdragonSummit
