What Intel didn’t disclose were the costs of this roadmap, which we Dividend Yield 2.6% 52-Week Range $43.61 - $68.49 expect them to discuss during the November analyst day. And while there is great uncertainty BVPS $14.76 about Intel’s ability to achieve these targets, what’s less uncertain is a requirement for higher Long-Term Debt (mln) $24,632 capital intensity.

  • Insight a Deeper Dive Into Qualcomm's Iot Portfolio and Strategy
    Insight A Deeper Dive into Qualcomm's IoT Portfolio and Strategy Shane Rau Les Santiago IDC OPINION Qualcomm is addressing the Internet of Things (IoT) market with a multitude of new platforms that enable low-power edge computing, connectivity, interoperability, and security. The three primary tenets of Qualcomm's strategy include platforms — that address the needs of submarkets with customization as needed by the customer; portfolio — a wide variety of processing, connectivity, security, and interoperability; and partnerships with other enablers through the company's technology- agnostic positioning. Further: . IDC views Qualcomm's strategy as sound and flexible enough to address the highly fragmented IoT market with a set of solutions that can be customized and distributed through traditional distribution channels. IDC notes that the IoT opportunity is still in its early stages and so it could be several generations of technology before we see IoT sectors breakout from the pack and scale sufficiently to justify technology created specifically for IoT systems and use cases and not adapted from legacy phone or PC technologies. IN THIS INSIGHT This IDC Insight summarizes and analyzes Qualcomm's IoT products and market strategy. SITUATION OVERVIEW Event Description On July 14, 2016, Qualcomm held an industry analyst event to present its product lineup and strategy in various sectors of the Internet of Things. This event served as a significant update to Qualcomm's IoT announcements over the past few years, including announcements regarding the smart home, health, wearables, and drones. Qualcomm's Senior Vice President and General Manager of IoT Anthony Murray described Qualcomm's strategy as addressing three major grouping of IoT sectors, including: .
