3 Key Points

What happened
Qualcomm doubled its fiscal 2029 non-handset revenue goal to $40 billion（約6.4兆円） and announced a partnership with Meta to supply data center CPUs, including the Dragonfly C1000 chip expected to enter production in the second half of 2028. The company also set a data center AI infrastructure revenue target of more than $15 billion（約2.4兆円） annually by fiscal 2029.
Why it matters
The shift from smartphones to data center AI infrastructure signals that Qualcomm is positioning itself for the largest growth opportunity in computing. Securing a hyperscaler (large cloud provider) like Meta validates its custom silicon strategy and opens a new revenue stream as AI infrastructure spending accelerates.

The company also agreed to acquire software firm Modular for $3.92 billion（約6300億円） to strengthen its AI compute capabilities.
