Qualcomm China chairman Frank Meng introduced the “AI Acceleration Initiative” at a Beijing event on September 24, aiming to enhance collaboration across China’s industrial ecosystem and accelerate large-scale adoption of edge AI technologies. The initiative was unveiled during Qualcomm’s Snapdragon China conference, which included participation from major smartphone and automotive companies via video.

Samsung Electronics is expected to confirm by late September 2025 that its 12-layer fifth-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM3E) has cleared customer validation, South Korean media reported. The announcement would end Samsung’s earlier silence and signal to the market that its technology is keeping pace with competitors.

At the opening keynote of the Snapdragon Summit 2025, Don McGuire, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Qualcomm, presented the company’s latest branding achievements, emphasizing how its marketing transformation is now central to its AI PC ambitions.
