Qualcomm is making some major changes to its branding and how it names the Snapdragon chips. While ensuring the visual changes, the chipset maker has decided to make Snapdragon a separate brand instead of just a name for its chipsets. Snapdragon will now have only “specific ties” with Qualcomm whenever needed.
The new brand revamp will also result in a change in the naming scheme of Snapdragon chipsets. Going forward, the Snapdragon chips will now get a name that will consist of a single-digit plus the generation number, much like the names of its ARM-based computer chips.
In addition to this, 5G will no longer need a special mention for all the Snapdragon products, as its presence is now a given. Qualcomm’s automotive products will also come under the Snapdragon branding and be called Snapdragon Ride Platform and Snapdragon Digital Chassis.
