Ryan Shrout reveals that Qualcomm's HBC (high bandwidth compute) technology, built for AI efficiency in the data center, is coming to Snapdragon — phones, laptops and smart glasses — with more at MWC. He adds that the agentic transition changes power and usage patterns, as agents keep using the SoC while the user is idle, creating an engineering differentiation opportunity.
