Qualcomm announced its return to the data center CPU market, partnering with NVIDIA to develop compatible products. This move is part of Qualcomm's strategy to expand its presence in the AI chip market, leveraging NVIDIA's technology for enhanced communication with graphics processors.

Qualcomm's decision to re-enter the CPU market with NVIDIA-compatible products has garnered mixed reactions from analysts. While some see potential in the partnership, others remain skeptical about its immediate impact on the company's performance.
