Qualcomm Mobilizes in Embedded Processors

While Qualcomm may be late to the embedded market, it brings with it some interesting attributes that will appeal to a number of designers.

The standard bearer for Qualcomm in embedded has been the Snapdragon 410 which already has a development board, the Dragonboard 410c, and is supported by distributor Arrow Electronics. What changed in this latest announcement is that Qualcomm has extended the life time commitment from five years to 10 years for the new Snapdragon 410e.

In addition to the 410e, the company announced a second, higher performance Snapdragon 600e processor that will also be sustained for a 10 year life span. Both the 410e and the 600e were released in 2015, which means that Qualcomm is committed to support these chips to the year 2025.
