Arduino / Qualcomm is like Eagle / Autodesk dejavue for me. Next step will be closed source bootloaders and IDEs. Qualcomm don't care for Arduino and Open Source, they just want to ride Arduino community to compete with Qualcomm / Raspberry pi. Arduino is doomed. Hope Arduino team sold out for good money. They did amazing jobs with the years, but this closed source money driven corporation will just chew and spit them in few years. #arduino #qualcomm #broadcom #raspberrypi #opensource

Big tech doesn’t create or do anything meaningful. They just buy the meaningful that already exists. Then they destroy it.
We don’t need AI in SBCs. That’s antithetic to the entire culture surrounding them. FFS.
Big tech needs to leave small tech alone. They’re vampires.

Everyone with an Arduino project has, starting as of NOW, six months to look for a replacement.
If you don't start right away, I can point out someone who will be in a lot of pain in a few months.
Believe me...
I know this will play merry hell with the 3d printer and mechanical keyboard scene. Innumerable hardware will die from this takeover.
⚠️ Qualcomm just bought Arduino, holy f*ck.
Huge loss for everyone, including Qualcomm, there's no way they'll recover their money once we ran away.

Gee that's a lotta cores. Even the smaller ones come with over 100k!
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip for mobile devices brings up to 20% faster single-core performance and 17% faster multi-core, a 23% graphics improvement, and camera + efficiency improvements. #Qualcomm #Snapdragon8EliteGen5 https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2025/09/snapdragon-8-elite-gen-5--the-world-s-fastest-mobile-system-on-a
Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite and X2 Elite Extreme chips for PCs have NPUs with up to 80 TOPS of AI performance, a 2.3X boost in GPU performance per watt, and up to 18 CPU cores for up to 31% faster overall performance. Devices coming in 2026. #Qualcomm #Chips #SnapdragonX2Elite #SnapdragonX2Extreme https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2025/09/new-snapdragon-x2-elite-extreme-and-snapdragon-x2-elite-are-the-
Qualcomm's follow-up to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip for flagship phones is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Why not Gen 2? Because it's the 5th chip since switching to single-digit names. Last year's name was the anomaly , I guess. https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2025/09/snapdragon-8-elite-gen-5-name-power-why#Snapdragon8EliteGen5#Qualcomm#Chips
Qualcomm Quick Charge 5+ brings support for cooler operation while charging by adapting voltage and current. It's coming to new devices & accessories set to be unveiled later this month, and is backward compatible with QC 2.0 and up. https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2025/09/qualcomm-quick-charge-5-plus-charging-technology-you-trust#Qualcomm #QuickCharge5plus #QuickCharge
