Qualcomm has bit struck with a massive blow as Gerard Williams III, the man who founded NUVIA, has left the chipset giant after four years
The acquisition of NUVIA for $1.4 billion could have ended horribly for Qualcomm, but the San Diego firm can now find itself on almost an equal footing with Apple’s A-series and M-series of chipsets with the purchase. With the involvement of Gerard Williams III, who founded NUVIA, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with its third-generation Oryon cores became possible, and Qualcomm is just getting started.
The company is expected to introduce its first 2nm SoCs, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, both of which will likely be the recipients of the fourth-generation custom CPU designs. Unfortunately, all journeys must come to an end, and for the ex-Apple employee, this was his farewell moment as he departs from Qualcomm after four years.
