The company has also invested in smart home devices, robotics, and edge computing.

I mean, I could future talk with you all day long, but I do also want to understand how you're navigating Qualcomm.
matched
Because in the last five years, you've been the CEO, you've been with the company mostly for the last thirty years.
matched
You've gone to lengths to diversify the business where smartphones and your Snapdragon chip within smartphones is still the top business for you, but it's not the only business line you have.
matched
I'm curious how you have, under your leadership, really put an emphasis on diversity.
matched
Diversifying revenue lines for Qualcomm and how you've oriented your team to execute on it, because now automotives is a big space for you, meaningful revenue coming in every quarter, Internet of Things, PCs, and those things were not to the scale of what they were five years ago.
matched
So how have you oriented the team around this diversification mission?
matched
Your ability to like almost bet the farm on ideas as a CEO and kind of get the team oriented in that direction is great.
matched
And it also takes time.
matched
You have seventy five percent of your business being a smartphone business five years ago to what is it today?
matched
I want to talk about two of the new lines of business and some are brand new, but data centers I think are, you know, you really made a big announcement last fall that you're going into this space, and I'm sure more to come later this year.
matched
A lot of the CapEx spending from tech companies has been going into data centers.
matched
We know it can fuel the future of AI, but it also comes with issues, the energy situation here that prevents the scale.
matched
There's a
matched
Report in Bloomberg recently that half of data center plans are kind of stalled or being canceled because of material issues and things like that.
matched
And then there's just a bigger consensus of like, are we overbuilding here?
matched
Could this like run companies into problems who are pouring lots of money in?
matched
Can you give me a big picture of like where we are in this AI data center boom and unpack that for me?
matched
Cause that's there's a lot uh here.
