Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 5G platform powering the Galaxy S21 lineup confirms Samsung’s focus on remaining leader in premium mobile experiences. It is reassuring to note that Samsung chose not to cut corners by selecting a slightly lower-tiered mobile platform for its S21 lineup. Samsung clearly wants to remain a leading player in the premium Android space and isn’t beyond potentially cutting into its own margins this year to protect its enviable market-share in order to achieve that goal.
Equally as important, the biggest winners here are obviously consumers, who will not only enjoy best-in class 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity, but also mind-blowing professional quality photo and video features, elite-level mobile gaming, and a long list of true premium mobile experiences no longer guaranteed to be offered by all Samsung competitors. This is also a win for Qualcomm, which gets to showcase its new Snapdragon 888 5G platform in Samsung’s latest Galaxy S-series phones, which are likely to set the standard for the rest of the mobile industry in 2021. Exciting times, to be sure!

The new Intel Partner Alliance further clarifies its XPU vision and sharpens the company’s focus on solutions, streamlining collaboration among Intel’s partners and new customers. Intel’s partners can expect an improved customer experience due to the simplification of multiple programs and infrastructures into a more unified, customer-centric partner program platform that is designed to entice broader innovation and cooperation.
Equally relevant, Intel’s commitment to an XPU portfolio vision also helps crystallize its channel strengths across multiple types of compute, including CPU, GPU, FPGA, and accelerators. I expect the Intel Partner Alliance to fortify Intel’s competitive channel edge across the global ecosystem, especially against key rivals such as AMD and NVIDIA.
