And for perspective, the company has about 45 billion in total trailing 12 month revenue right now.

So adding 15 billion to that top line number is pretty significant.

And I think what stands out to me is

For investors, a lot of investors are starting to question, where are we in this AI infrastructure build-out?

Is it too late when it comes to data centers?

And Qualcomm is a $200 billion company and just now throwing its name in the ring as a contender in this space, just now getting in.

So to me, that's a strong signal that maybe this AI data center build-out still has a lot of legs to it because a huge player just jumped into the game.

Yeah, it does.

I should have said in my opening statement here is that one of the reasons why Qualcomm believes it's not too late is because it really sees this agentic AI trend really just starting to inflect now.

And AI agents, basically, they can make 50 to 100 times as many inference requests as a human.

That's kind of your big headline number, which means a lot more CPUs are needed now than what were needed before to make all this run.

So there's really kind of a CPU bottleneck going on.

Maybe it's already been talked about a lot, but Qualcomm here jumping into this ring with its data center CPU, the Dragonfly C1000 and announcing that Meta already signing up to be a customer of this product.

So I think that's significant.

That said, this particular data center product isn't supposed to reach production until 2028.

And so that's a little bit out into the future there.

Now that's not carrying the entire 15 billion target revenue number on its own, but it will play a part of that.

So 2028 is kind of the target number for getting that thing off the ground.

Now you look at players like Taiwan Semiconductor, this is a huge partner of Qualcomm.

It's saying that it's kind of constrained until at least 2027.
