The battle between Qualcomm and Intel just got another friction-filled chapter.
Our unit return rates are within industry norm, said a Qualcomm representative toCRN.
Intel co-CEO Michelle Johnston Holthaus speaks during the Intel AI Everywhere launch event in New York, US, on Thursday, Dec. 14, 2023.
Qualcomm’s statement came in response to Holthaus claiming that retailers face high return rates when selling Arm PCs.
Windows 11 now works better with Arm as well, thanks to work by Microsoft.
Without official word from retailers, it’s impossible to determine which tech company is correct in this case.
Qualcomm launched its Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors this year, helping Arm PCs compete with Intel-powered systems.
Holthaus was named co-CEO of Intel in the aftermath offormer CEO Pat Gelsinger retiring suddenly.
Gelsinger was reportedly under pressure to step down or be removed, and the executive chose the former.
That left a vacancy that is being temporarily filled by Holthaus and David Zinsner.
Intel had to name two co-CEOs following the abrupt retirement of Pat Gelsinger.
The Gelsinger retirement came to a head on December 2, 2024 when the former CEO announced his retirement.
Holthaus and Zinsner now have to hold things down while Intel attempts to right the ship.
Intel Foundry Serviceslost $7 billion in 2023and has not done well in 2024.
That’s forced Intel to look into spinning off Intel Foundry.
