Compared to its PC business, Qualcomm's mobile chip business faces more direct pressure. Apple continues to advance its in-house modem development, with the iPhone 18 Pro already adopting Apple's C2 modem, while the US version of the iPhone 18 Pro Max still uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon X80, leaving the two companies in a transition phase. Against this backdrop, Googlebook provides Qualcomm with a new opportunity to expand its PC chip business. The subsequent adoption scope of the Snapdragon X Elite in Googlebooks and the platform's actual shipment volumes will be key factors in observing whether Qualcomm's PC business can generate incremental growth. Qualcomm will hold its annual Snapdragon Summit from September 22 to 24. Investors should focus on the company's latest statements regarding AI computing, its PC chip business, and upcoming Snapdragon X series products, particularly the "Agentic PC" strategy, as well as whether more information about its collaboration with Googlebook is disclosed.
