Qualcomm recruits former Intel Xeon architect.

According to Wccftech , Qualcomm's latest move to enter the server CPU market is the recruitment of Sailesh Kottapalli, former chief architect of Intel's Xeon line, who now serves as Senior Vice President at Qualcomm. This is a significant step in their plan to conquer this promising market.

Qualcomm's server CPUs are expected to be based on the ARM architecture, using high-performance Nuvia HPC cores. This is the technology Qualcomm acquired after purchasing the startup Nuvia in 2021. Previously, Nuvia was expected to develop server CPUs before the Snapdragon X Elite series, but the plan was delayed. With Qualcomm currently focusing its resources on this area, it's clear that the new CPUs have reached an active development stage.

Qualcomm plans to develop server CPUs based on the ARM architecture, using high-performance Nuvia HPC cores, in order to compete with x86 solutions from Intel and AMD.

Qualcomm is not a new name in the server CPU field. Previously, the company launched the Centriq product line in 2016, using the ARM architecture. Despite initial attention, Centriq failed to achieve commercial success due to software support issues and the dominance of the x86 architecture. This will be an important lesson for Qualcomm to learn from, especially as the company returns to this market in a new context.

However, Qualcomm has a great opportunity to promote ARM solutions in the data center market, where competitors like Amazon with Graviton or Ampere Computing haven't really broken through. Qualcomm's success in developing the "Windows on ARM" ecosystem is also a positive sign for upcoming server CPU projects.

Qualcomm's entry into the server CPU market is expected to further intensify competition with existing manufacturers. While AMD and Intel continue to dominate with x86 solutions, Qualcomm is betting on the ARM architecture's ability to deliver higher performance and better energy efficiency.
